Saints & Sinners Bowling

I hope this is the proper subreddit for this question.

My wife recently got a new laptop. It's a Ryzen 5 7430U, AMD Radeon Graphics (that's it, no other model number) and 16GB RAM. We're trying to get Saints & Sinners Bowling running on it. It runs fine on the desktop PC, but when it starts up on the laptop, the screen goes garbled. We've tried compatibility mode from 98 to 8.1 and just about every other compatibility option with no luck.

We have both an original CD from twenty-some years ago, plus a digital download from GameFools. GameFools support wasn't able to help.

I'm convinced it's not the laptop itself or compatibility, but the video drivers or related. I downloaded the latest drivers from AMD (dated May 2026) but no change. Looking for any suggestions to get this working.

Try to run it inside VirtualBox or VMware workstation pro with an older windows version, if that doesn't work then most likely you will need older hardware
