I managed to get it to work after messing with a few options (compatibility mode wasn't one of them). Okay, I was on the ship, I solved a total of two puzzles, then I accidently sank it (that was the only thing I could do, there are only 3 rooms here after all) and after watching the ship sink, the demo went back to the main menu.
Is that all the demo has to offer? It really doesn't give a good taste of the game at all... Honestly, judging ONLY from the demo, I couldn't justify getting this game. I suppose demos just aren't meant for adventure games... Anyway, from the way you describe it, I imagine there's a lot more to this game than that. I didn't really get a good plot description though. I picked up that my main character is trying to restore the balance between magic and science which is apparently out of wack between two different worlds. That's it though. Is my character from the present day, or is this game a comedy? Honestly, I couldn't tell from what little there was.
If you have played the demo, is it really this short or was that some odd glitch?
Anyway, if you say this is an amazing game, I'll get it along with, eventually, Planescape. You gotta give Syberia another try though. It really is a fun game, despite what little you may have seen in the demo. In fact, I think I'll give that demo a try myself just to see what you saw.
(Oh, is there a Planescape demo?)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
