Im having a problem with windows 8 not running my older games that use direct x 7. I use a game engine that is no longer supported but built on direct x 7, I can get my games to play on every windows except 8.When I try to run it will run but the screen will be completely black but i can still hear sound. I looked this issue up it said something to do with older direct x programs using mixed direct x call and not being allow to draw on the screen by something in windows 8, is there a way fix this issue?

a sample game can be found here:
