I never understood why microsoft would make their newest OS non compatible with older software. I was always taught to build on my accomplishments.

It would not run for me, I ended up running it in compatibility mode as windows XP. otherwise it was showing in a REALLY odd aspect ratio. Hope that helps.

Don't know if it'll help anyone else but I had the same issue using the Dutch version, but not with the English version. I decided to download both and compare them, which resulted in the discovery of a .cfg file which defined certain paths. Soon as I sent that to oblivion, the game ran like a charm.

For random wanders who come across this thread, you receive this error if you don't have an optical drive installed. You can solve this by installing a virtual CD drive, like Virtual CloneDrive (freeware). Not required, but as a bonus, go into the Virtual CloneDrive options and turn on 'Virtual Sheep' to have a cute sheep as the icon for the drive 😉.
