NIGHTANG3L: I have run the game, and tried runiing it as Admin, when I run as Admin it comes up asking if I am ok with with it making changes to the device, after clicking yes or no nothing else happens, I have tried running it from file location and GOG application, and I have tried repairing it. Does anyone have any idea what might fix this?

I followed these steps then changed compatibility to Win 95 and screen resolution to 8 bit color and 640x480 res. it launched. It seems to be a compatibility issue with the screen resolution. I may get it to play on other settings. I will try it later.

Scarecroh: I'm having the same problem - it asks to install DirectPlay, I say okay, close window, and pop out to 0cx0...022 error message. I've tried running as admin, ensuring Legacy is checked (which it already was), trying with Legacy unchecked, etc., etc. I'm assuming there's something about Win10 that doesn't like it - glad I only wasted $1.49.

Darvond: Just go to the inis and set DirectDraw=0.
