hej,
i had thesame problem. whenever i started the game in compatibily mode 95 or 98, i could save the game, but therefor it allways crashed. when i did not turn on compatibily mode, i could play, but i could not save.
however, i think i found a (surprisingly simple) solution for this problem:
i started the game in compatibily mode win 95 and also set the following settings in thesame window, where you activate compatibily mode:
- start with 256 colors
- resolution 640x480
- deaktivate visual designes
- deaktivate desktop?????? (in german it is called "Desktopgestaltung")

i also checked: "start program as administrator"

maybe not all of those options are necessary, but now i could play for the first time the whole first oblinox mission without any crashes and furthermore i was able to save the game afterwards
so i hope, i fixed the problem like this now
