Try running it in a lower color depth, by typing "grabber -16",
"grabber -15", or "grabber -8". If all else fails you can
fall back on using a VGA mode with "grabber -320x200 -8", although
it isn't very nice to use in such a low resolution.

If none of that helps, your problem is most likely to be with
the sound drivers. Copy setup.exe into the same directory as 
the grabber, run it there, and have a fiddle with the settings
to see if you can make something that will work (at the very 
least, choosing nosound for both the digital and MIDI drivers
will be sure to work).
