I've found that ChocolateBox is kind of picky when it comes to how things are set up. I know of a few things that might be going on.
It didn't like that I had seemingly a million MSVC++ runtimes installed. Neither did anything else on my computer, really. So I just uninstalled all of them and downloaded and installed the very latest updates to 2005, 2008 and 2010, both x86 and x64. Everything runs much smoother after I did this. Here are the links.

And I had some weird issues first trying to use ChocolateBox. It had already dumped the FinalAlbion.wad, but I had some problems and uninstalled/reinstalled Fable and I ended up having a FinalAlbion.wad and a renamed FinalAlbion.wad as well as a dumped set of LEV and TNG files, so ChocolateBox tried redumping and renaming the FinalAlbion.wad and couldn't, since there was already a file with the same name and it didn't know what to do and crashed.
Solution: Delete the dumped files, delete the renamed FinalAlbion.wad, and maybe dump the files yourself with FreeRoam if you want free roaming. Reading the forums here and there I see people talking about patching the userst.ini to not use the WAD file, that doesn't seem to be necessary but ChocolateBox wants that to be done too.
The last thing, I notice you said compatibility for XPSP3, so I'm assuming you're on Vista or Windows 7. I had problems with this too and followed this guide on these forums, worked everything out for me.

After you take care of these things, everything should work much, much better.
