If you are having trouble starting up in full screen mode in Windows 10, check this setting. Either go into Settings->Personalization directly or by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting "Personalization". Scroll down to "Make Start, taskbar, and action center transparent" and make sure that setting is "Off".

question, I've been having problems running the game on Windows 8, very slow run time between mouse click.
I've seen the discussion on this, but none of the recommended edits seem to work for me.
(so I keep my old Win7 machine running for just this game).
Will upgrading to Win10 resolve that issue?

When you say "none of the recommended settings work for me" the most effective way to help others aid you in troubleshooting that is to cut & paste the entire "Target" line from your shortcut. I do mean cut & paste the whole thing.

As far as Win 10 helping, maybe, just impossible to say without knowing what the problem is. BTW are you using Win 8 or Win 8.1? It's just that so many people upgraded to Win 8.1 when that was available.

A few years back didn't someone post that cut and paste was fine but you had to put the "-" in manually? Does this sound familiar? I may have part of it wrong, But I always put the switches in manually anyway....GP

I am not suggesting cut & paste from the manual, I am saying cut & paste from what he has now in his computer here into the forum so we can see it verbatim and maybe help him.
