This is one of those games that needs to be added to the DEP / Data Execution Prevention filter list to work.
If you did that and it still doesn't start, try this.
( this is the same fix as the one for Unreal, covered here : https://www.gog.com/forum/unreal_series/unreal_gold_general_protection_fault_and_dep_fixing_a_fix )
- Open the registry editor
- Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
- Find the entry for the IWar2 executables that you added in the DEP Filter before
- Check if they have something set like "HIGHDPIAWAREDisableNXShowUI", yes that is without spaces ( and the reason why DEP filter is not working .. yet )
- If so, put a space between these words ( DisableNXShowUI is the important one )
- Save the entry
It should work then. It shouldn't be necessary to disable DEP completely.
