cant start the game! set display mode fail?

I fixed it running the game's executable.
You can go to your library, right click the game, 'local files' tab, 'see local files folder' and run MR.exe.

Windows 10?

The above is what worked for me and my wife. All I can suggest from here is try different compatibility modes. Also, if you have anything overclocked try resetting to defaults. I've had a few games crash on me due to overclocks.

Yes sorry windows 10, I will try outher compatibility modes but windows did slect Windows XP service pack 3 as the best when I trubled shooted, so I dont think that will be it, I don't run anything on overclock so it cant be that eyther, thank you for your help.

W10 has problems with older games at the moment, maybe that's your case: http://steamcommunity.com/app/588430/discussions/0/135514231765249422/
