Sonic Mega Collection Plus: Need help to get it working

Recently I brought Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PC from a charity shop for 99 pence. To my disappointment, it doesn't work. I've spent hours searching for a solution. Some such solutions include change the compatibility mode thing, run it as an admin (even though I am the admin), download some infected thing for it to work. Nothing has worked. Is there anyone that knows how to get it working?

My specs (incase it's important):
- AMD A4-5300 APU Dual Core 3.4 GHz (I don't believe it's an APU, however, as when I opened up my PC it didn't look anything like an APU. It is a CPU and a GPU)
-10 GB RAM
-AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

If i recall it basically emulates xp. I assume this game isnt compatible with any other op.

It says on the game case Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 4 or higher) Windows XP Vista. XP Vista.

You can get almost all the good Sonic games from Steam...

You can BUT they don't have some of thee things I love about the mega collection like the menu music. Just personal preference to use the game.

The monitor res doesnt matter. Just dpends on what the game's res is set to. .w.

This is late but: Run with compatibility with Windows XP SP3 got the game to work for me. Unfortunately when I plug a controller in, the left button is permanently pushed, no matter what controlelr I use.
