It all depends on what Operating System you have, what graphics card etc. Please tell us some more about your system.

From the CM readme file (you have read it, haven't you? ;))

Video issues
------------

Some video drivers do not properly support DirectDraw full-screen in 16-bit colour at any resolution. If you are unable to start Championship Manager 01/02 which defaults to full-screen mode, start Championship Manager 01/02 with the command line option -windowed

In order for Championship Manager 01/02 to work in full-screen mode you must have DirectX installed, and your graphics adapter must support 800x600 16-bit colour mode.

If Championship Manager 01/02 fails to open in windowed mode, ensure that your Windows desktop is in 16-Bit colour mode with at least 800x600 pixel resolution.

A few things I would do:
  • Download the latest patch for CM, version 3.9.65, from SIGames.
  • Download the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft.
  • Make sure you are running in 16-bit colour (check your display settings).
