I can't get JA2 to start and when I double click it it causes Rundll.dll to max the CPU at 100%. I did some further research and the problem seems to come from gameux.dll's thread which is contained in Rundll.dll. So I looked it up and gameux.dll seems to be part of the Operating System known as Windows Games Explorer something developers use, I don't know, I can't find it in services.msc but it is in the correct file path.

Here you go. There are several solutions posted.

I also read somewhere that simply renaming the exe file works for some games.
