Compatability mode might help, but in my experience, no compatability mode has ever helped me once when a program wasn't running.
Personally, I'd suggest trying to run it in DOSBox, seeing if you can get another game, since you might have a version that's incompatable or the CD might even be dirty if you have it on a CD, or try running it on another computer if you can.
Actually, I was just thinking about that game recently. SimTower was one of those games that I played, but never really satisfyingly finished. Granted, like most Maxis games I don't think there's really an ending to the game, but still you can advance to get better sections, like underground subways, but I don't think I ever got that far when I used to play. I was thinking about trying to install it again and giving it another shot.
