I am trying to run the game via DOS Box but when I do it claims it cannot be run in DOS mode. When I try and natively launch the game in Windows 8 i get the menu but when i try and start the game everything goes black and my computer basically locks up.

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press �Windows key� and the �R� key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8)
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

run the game from a admin account and use full admin permissions.

please make sure all game pre requisite are installed with the game, even if you think or fully know there are already installed, it will only over write, and it may be that you have a older or newer version of these where as the game in question may need a certain version.

please make sure you are running the latest game version and have up to date drivers installed on your pc,

If you have the original version. So you'll need to update it from the Internet.
Please note that you'll only need the last update, as the updates are comprehensive.
