Direct Draw Error

[I Did Ya Mum]

The game does not boot up and gives me this direct draw error in any compatibility mode - 95,98.xp sp2, and win 11. Same error. (Err 0x88760082) DirectDraw recieved a pointer thet was an invalid DirectDraw object. Please Help

No help available, its not compatible with windows 11 - I have the same issue and was never able to fix it, you can install all the old directx runtimes, and even try to run it in compatible mode but really, its just not compatible with win 11

Using a DDraw wrapper like the one coming with dgVoodoo fixes the problem.
