Win 8 Issue
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2013 2:16 am
Hello;
I have installed the original game, the upgrade, then the GS free version and that upgrade. I am running Win 8 64 bits. The game won't run unless I manually set the screen res to 1024 x 768. Also, when I run the game I can get it to work, but all the "pop up windows" are just blank white screens. When I hit the enter key, I see a flash of what the screen should look like, and then it is off. I cannot hit ESC to exit either. I am running it as an admin, and I have tried all the compatibility options from Win95 through XP SP3. All the same. I have installed all four .exe files into the same folder on my D Drive, so I am not in any Program Files folders. Any thoughts? Thanks.
