Both versions of this program won't run on my computer. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64bit with an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU.

I get this error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the application."

Gonna go through the executable with Process Monitor and see if I can find anything of interest.

Welp just fixed it. I think it was a DirectPlay issue with Windows 10.

Had to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64, find the file called "dplayx.dll", and give myself full permissions in the security options of it's properties. After that, I enabled DirectPlay in the Windows' Legacy Components. (Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > Legacy Components > Tick DirectPlay).

Program runs completely fine now. Cheers.

I love you <3 This fixed the problem, just have to run it as admin. Also ticking the option reset the security rights so it may of been a moot point unless you do it AFTER you check the legacy direct draw box. But the .exe now runs when i launch it, you may of also just fixed another issue such as my problems with command and conquer red alert 2.

Thank-you for the information!

I fond you don't need to do the stuff with the dll files, I just enabled directplay and it worked fine
