Try opening C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PlatinumQuest\platinum\client\mbpPrefs.cs with a text editor and adding these two lines to the end:
$pref::Video::PostProcessing = 0;
$pref::AnimatePreviews = 0;
You can turn these back on in the game settings. "Animate previews" simply preloads levels, so if that's causing the crash you won't be able to get into the level anyway.
Also try Windows's compatibility mode (in the file properties for marbleblast.exe in the PlatinumQuest folder).
