As stated by someone else, try either compatibility mode, or you could give it a go under some form of emulator or virtualization product. Re: the latter, it should be fine as the game doesn't use hardware accelerators for 3d. Microsoft's Virtual Server and various versions of VM Ware are FREE - run it under one that supports hardware virtualization - eg: Virtual Server 2005 SP1. The system requirements for Flanker 1.0 are very low - so it should run very quickly under virtualization a product if you have a CPU that supports the intel VT or AMD-V instructions. System requirements For PC: Minimum 486 IBM compatible at 66Mhz, DOS 5.0 or higher, 8mb RAM, 1MB SVGA card, 8MB HD Space, Software using AMD-V and/or Intel-VT The following software is known to conditionally make use of virtualization technology features: * Hyper-V - Windows Server Virtualization * Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) - a Linux kernel module hypervisor * LynxSecure - Secure MILS Hypervisor from LynuxWorks Supports Intel VT-x and VT-d. * Microsoft Virtual Server — Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 supports hardware assisted virtualization.[11][12] * Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Server 2008's ability to run multiple virtual servers requires hardware virtualization support[1] * Parallels Workstation and Parallels Desktop for Mac — lightweight hypervisor with Intel VT-x and AMD AMD-V support. * Parallels Server (Beta) — Enterprise version of Parallels Workstation and Desktop for Mac. It will provide support for Intel's second generation virtualization technology, called Virtualization Technology for Directed, or VT-d. * Padded Cell - virtual machine technology from Green Hills Software hosted on INTEGRITY real-time operating system. Supports Intel VT-x and VT-d. * Real-Time Systems RTS Real-Time Hypervisor for x86 * Sun xVM - xVM is based on Xen on x64 * VirtualBox supports both AMD-V and VT-x.[13] * Virtual Iron - Virtual Iron supports Intel VT-x and AMD-V. * VirtualLogix VLX supports Intel VT-x and VT-d. * VMware Workstation — Workstation 5.5 supports Intel VT-x.[14] * VMware Fusion - Virtualization product for Mac OS X for use on Macintosh systems equipped with Intel Core, Core 2 Duo and Xeon processors. * VMware ESX Server - Enterprise Virtualization Server, needs hardware support when running x64 and x32 virtual machine simultaneously. * VMware Server - Supports Intel VT-x and AMD-V. * Xen — Xen 3.0.2 supports Intel VT-x and AMD-V. Xen 3.2.1 supports Intel VT-d. Xen 3.3 is expected to support Intel VT-c.
