Have you installed the latest patch? It's v1.02 and can be downloaded from http://dlh.net/cgi-bin/patdl.cgi?lang=&sys=pc&file=dark_messiah_102.zip
Although I can't help you with that error (but try updating your graphics card drivers, a few ATI users had the same issue), you can activate the game on Steam using the retail serial and download it from there. That might help as well ;)
