Bejeweled Twist

FATAL ERROR Invalid command line parameter - changedir
Every time I try to launch the demo of the game, I am prompted with a message that says "Invalid command line parameter: -changedir". I saw elsewhere someone was having the same issue with a different game, and solved it by going into the properties, then Set Launch Options, and then typed in "-changedir". I tried this as well, but the game crashed before it could even open up. Also, I am running windows 10. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Doesn't work for me either, although I just get a white screen & popcap.exe has stopped working message when I try to launch. I've also tried setting different launch options and am running Windows 10.

I think it only works on desktop. It's a shame too: I usually tried free downloads off youtube links cause the game didn't work on steam, even now when I tried it again and it actually ran worked perfect and sure enogh exiting and opening it again just to test and it doesn't open. Just say automatically says it's not responding and closes. Sadly I don't think it will ever be fixed. Guess I'll go back too bejewled2 ; - ;

I'd also like show graditude Clankrocks for this solution
You won't be able to fix the 3d accelerator but at least it runs, hopefully it works for the rest of you guys

Go into the BejeweledTwist.exe file properties and under compatibilty enable:
Run in compatibility mode for: Windows Vista
Run in 640x480 Res
Disable display scaling
