What video card do you have?
Most onboard video chips save the very latest Intel 915 chipset will not work with this game. Anything less than the Radeon series for ATI is also out (preferably Radeon 9500 and above.) For nVidia you really need a GeForce 2 or better card (preferably GeForce 4 or better.)
If you do have a capable video card then make sure you have the desktop resolution set at 1024x768 (or higher) and colour depth set to 32 bits.

You can get the game to run on that chipset as I have managed it on a second computer at home, but saying that a similair computer at work flatly refuses to run it (I'm in the process of updating directx now hoping that will sort it).
To run it on the home comp I ran ryzom_configuration_rd.exe and lowered all the graphic detail settings. I also then deselected the auto option for opengl/direct3d and set it to use direct3d. Bingo, the game runs and plays and the monitor is still set to 1024x768 24 bit, I must add it looks horrible but its only a temporary situation til I get the kids another gfx card.
I would also think the reason the game unpacked all its files to the desktop is because you didnt specify a folder location when you ran the setup program.
If anyone else knows any workarounds etc for this prob, please post them, I may need to try other things to get it running from my work machine

hmm i had this problem too on my other comp it was the graphics card that wasnt powerfull enough to run the game
also go to troubleshooting on your graphics card make sure that the hardware acceleration slider is at max and that write combining is on that was was what fixed it on my other comp
