Please give more information.

Which MacOSX version on your host Mac?
Which SheepShaver build?
Did you follow the instructions in our setup guide?
Which OS9 version and do you use a physical installation CD or a disk image created from such a CD?
At which point in the installation proces does the emulator freeze?

Best insert the CD first and have it mounted in MacOSX, then launch SheepShaver. Did you do it in that order?

Did you install Game Srockets 1.5 as suggested here?

I don´t think there is a compatibility list for games and apps, but Macintoshgarden usually has info about how to run an app telling by architecture and emulators already proven working.

Did you enable sound as described in the setup manual?
In "Sound" control panel, select "built-in" for the output device. [...]
If the "Apple Audio Extension" happens to be installed in the Extensions folder, remove it.
Although "built-in" will be the only option in the control panel, it needs to actively selected (click to highlight).
