This problem is only for the win XP users to my knowledge. The new billiards game (v1.22) only complies with other windows besides XP, or the odd few XP users. This is a problem that you would expect; it takes a lot of work to make the game suit all users. After some trial and error attempts FlyOrDie will most certainly make the 'perfect' download to suit all.
Use this link to check for the updates for the version, which is compatible with win XP users.

(The link given by the OP is apparently the wrong one - by mistake. But surely it will be replaced with the correct one.)
