Shivers 2 - Harvest of Souls

Yikes. I wanted to play this game and also make a Let's Play from it. I know that not long ago I got this old stuff running on my current computer, then decided to uninstall it, and now....
First of all, I have the crappy German version for Windows 95, also coming on two CDs. Now, no matter how I want to start the setup (via autorun or setup, all kinds of compatibility mode, running as admin, 256 colors etc. or not, nothing makes a difference), the process ends up giving me a black screen which I can only eliminate by rebooting. Most annoying. Of course, with the German version, the new SHP installer wouldn't help much (besides, it puts everything in full screen mode automatically which I hate), and I fear that somehow the CD installer is corrupted.
Any suggestions? Or should I just get a new copy somewhere from Amazon USA? I have no intention to buy a new German version. Sucks!
Thanks,
Marlene
