Links crashes windows 8

Postby Richard on Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:04 pm

Ever since upgrading to Windows 8, Links 2003 keeps crashing. What compatibility mode should I be using? :( :(

Right click on the Links2003 icon and run as Administrator and in WinXP Service Pack 3 compatibility.

I think I have resolved my issue. I have set the compatibility mode to windows 98/ME ! So far no problems. :D

When I run as administrator the game fires up. Where is this run in compatibility mode?
