Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\BIT.TRIP RUNNER and edit game.cfg. Try my settings:
Fullscreen = no
Resolution = 400x640x32 @ 70Hz
WindowSize = 960x540
VSync = no
EnableVibration = no

You can always change them again later from ingame.
For Windows 7 it might be located in \Appdata\Local\BIT.TRIP RUNNER, I'm not sure.

:/ I don't think that would help at all. You seem to be using a PAL monitor, the OP's in Canada, so he's using a NTSC monitor.

@rockstar99: Here's some standard settings you can use (if this fixes your problem you can change the settings in-game):

Fullscreen = no
Resolution = 800x600x32
WindowSize = 800x600
VSync = no
EnableVibration = yes

Agh, I forgot about that. Stupid monitor regions.

I'd run the game through OllyDbg to see why it fails and then, if necessary, patch the problem. That's not something to recommend if you haven't done anything similar before however. But if you don't manage to find any simpler solutions and happen to know someone with extensive computer knowledge you could always ask them to do it for you.

PAL monitor ... NTSC monitor.

There is no such thing as a "PAL monitor" or an "NTSC monitor" and any TV modern enough to take a VGA etc input will display both PAL and NTSC fine.

Furthermore, on the extreme off chance that rockstar99 would be using an old (~>10 years) CRT TV as his computer display and these settings for this game would somehow be "PAL settings" (which they in reality certainly aren't) and setup the display for PAL, the only side effect would be that the image would be black and white.

I was referring to the refresh rate (most monitors in North America only display in 60 Hz and 75 Hz). And I think his issues with the settings are because of Arras using a European version of the game (since his settings show his fullscreen resolution as YxX rather than XxY like my settings do, not to mention the resolutions are of numbers that are uncommon here).
