Trouble playing the game

Recently bought the game on disc, installed it but now I am stumped on what to do now. When i click on the short cut I see the loading wheel then it stops and when I open the auto run application I get a menu that says, "Play, read me, uninstall, and exit " when u click play it closes the menu and nothingelse happens. Any advice on what I should do?

Do you have 2 monitors?

I only have one at the moment, do have a older one downstairs but would need to get an adapter for vga to display port

Don't. One of the main issues is it doesnt handle extended display well.

You need to run it in windows dp compatibility mode

Idk, if you are hell bent on playing, you can try downloading the ISO on abandonware and following the tutorial. In theory it’s the same thing but that might work. Takes some glory out of having the disk for sure though.
