I played this game a lot back in July and it worked fine for me in windows 10.

I just reloaded it and notice that there's a new version so something might have changed but the new version seems to work fine for me as well. Here's a screen shot of my graphics options as those are usually at the heart of any issue. Note the version number in the lower left.

Have you tried verifying the files?

Richt Click the shortcut and choose the compatibility mode.

Try searching the forums. This was back a year ago or so.

You might just have to turn on direct play, it fixed the problem for me. Win 7 compatibility probably won't work - like it didn't for me. It's done through Control Panel. Instructions are available at plenty of sites like this one:

Hope it works for you too.

Just wanted to say thanks for that bit of information. It got me up and running. Just one question. Any downside to running it? Are there any situations where I might have to turn off direct play?
