Basically what the title says, not sure this can be considered as retro yet, though it's definitely old.

I tried forcing the .exe to run in Directx 9 as opposed to 11 but the same thing happens, launches, splash screen, then crashes to desktop immediately. I've run out of ideas, any suggestions? Thanks everyone

Tried the following:
- update graphics card drivers
- re-downoad the game or reinstall the game
- attempted compatibility mode?
- downloaded the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard?
- reinstall directx runtime: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35
