TROUBLE SHOOT HELP ME!!!!!

[Death_Rime]

I have a question. I bought a new computer but Emperor won't work on it. It installed fine, and I updated it. When I double click on the .exe file the emporer screen shows up, but then it disappears and nothing happens. CAN SOME BODY HELP ME? :(

Have you tried searching the old threads using the search function ? I am shure your question has been answered.

What would i search for?

[erjin999]

Try the following: Right click the emperor shortcut, go properties, Compatibility, and check the run this program in compatibility for and select Windows 95...

That should do. Windows Xp cant play the game.

[Death_Rime]

not that it is entirely relevant anymore but, windows XP can play the game, mine does.  Usually a problem is norton... that's what has been happening to mine, ugh.
