Hey GOG: Fix this please. Bought several Europa Universalis games. EU 1 doesn't work at all on Windows 10.

I have managed to start the game with the following settings - no modified dll needed:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Fullscreen disabled
I used the win 10 build in "problem solver" - sorry I don't know the english word for it. But as far as I can tell it works.

Solution running win 10 where black screen appears when running europa.exe:
When europa.exe starts it plays Paradox.avi and Europa.avi. My win 10 could not play those avi's and screen went black (codec issue?). After replacing them with an avi that plays in win 10, the game works. No music though.
-go to AVI folder. Rename all four files (fx add -old)
-find an avi file that win 10 can play. Copy that file to AVI folder four times and rename to original names above.
-add to europa.exe: run as administrator, compatibility mode windows xp (service pack 3), fullscreen disabled
-run europa.exe

I tried all of your options, but the game still doesn't run for me... It plays the videos and then it crashes...
