My Punisher is Australian version - be the same as your Asimov, I imagine. I even tried making the CD's into an image, installing it through Alcohol and trying to mount the game to by-pass the need for CD, but it still asks me to insert CD1 into the drive to start.
I have Geforce FX 5600 - so don;t think video is the problem - haven't tried uninstalling Alcohol, but as it doesn't give me any message that emulation software has been detected, I don't see that this will help. Unfortunately the log file of the crash is not helpful in telling me why the game crashes. Tried it on my own and my son's computer - does the same thing.
