Run as admin, Sittings, Compatibility.

So for example if i want to run a game in Compatibility mode Window 8, As admin, and at 640 x 480 screen resolution that will be:
RUNASADMIN

Run as admin
Run this program as an Administrator
RUNASADMIN

Sittings
Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

I am not done yet mate, I am just going to look at it when I can
I am hoping can get it working on Windows 10
The VM is only the last case scenario :D:

Oh damn ok, well thank you for all your help my guy! Some heroes really don't wear capes! i guess ill have to dig around for better parts for a really old pc with Windows XP on it, but thank you so much dude! really really appreciate the help!

So first I recommend you try to find a crack and run it with that, see if that helps to run the game, its possible my issues is something else, my PC is piled up with stuff that can make a crash happen, as I use it some what as a development enviremnt :D: and what ever the case that will likely be the first step to get it running
I also tryed to use it in a Virual Machine of Windows 7 and it just did not run, possible becouse the Virtual GPU is not supported, so may need to find a fix that way if cant find a way to make it really work on Windows 10, that sadly will be the first game like that so far for me

O that matter, making a Virtual Machine is basiclly download an ISO, select the ISO in the virtual Machien software, install the OS and you should be set to go
