Game will not launch

[Renic]

I am running an old laptop running Windows 8, I used to have an old disk for the game but its been lost to time, however with that disk the game ran perfectly fine on this same laptop. Now, i bought the Steam version, and it just won't launch at all. I cluck run, it shows the game running, and my curser does the loading icon, then it stops, it still shows the game running but Task Manager shows no instances of the game at all. What can I do? If anyone knows where I can download a free ISO of the original game that would help too, I could at least run it virtually

I highly recommend this : https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

however if you find that too difficult look around the posts here there is one with an glwrapper that will work also

i got it to work. copy railroad tycoon 2 folder into program files not x 86 then delete in x86 add steam.dll to that folder - change res to 1024 x 768 on desktop - run compatibility for 98 me and disable full screen optimisations leave everything else unchecked hope it helps
