Ideally - they'd some day make a digital version that could be downloaded via Steam or GoG, but alas, until then it's the No CD executable fix. Yes - a No CD executable is often used with pirated software - yet for numerous other games, it's the means for overcoming a change in Windows that breaks older games that use a certain DRM.

The fix for this is to use a No CD executable.

The executable that gets installed, wants to hit the CD/DVD for validation, and it's not being allowed to do so, resulting in nothing happening - or perhaps a The Movies screen opening, then minimizing, and then the Windows File Troubleshooting guide opening. The issue is related to a Windows patch, that basically breaks the DRM used by the CD/DVDs. My recommendation is to not run it, and if necessary, run the latest right from Microsoft which is here: (what you download there gets unpacked - and you'll need to run the setup.exe within it)Ĭhallenge 2: Getting The Movies to run after you've installed it on Windows 10.
