Yes, this is one of the many games that Monopoly$oft has broken with it's DRM blocking 'feature'.

(imo - An extortion attempt aimed at getting people to buy a download version which has had the

DRM removed.)

Win7 users are not immune to the Monopoly$oft

malware which is installed  via the 'Security Update' - KB3086255 -  but they do have options for

disabling the DRM Blocking malware. I have more details in my post at  --this thread--

The only fix for Win10 is a noCD patch. The noCD for The Movies can be found  --here--

• The only expansion pack fix is for the 'Stunts and Effects' expansion.

(Deviance fixes generally work well. He is one of the more prolific noCD creators )

I am also having this issue and there is no "The Movies” Game support"

I tried installing the game in compatibility mode. No difference, the game just doesn't run at all. All my drivers are fully updated as well.

Hi,

I made the game working fine. I've got a 100% original french version.

First, know the setup stucks if there is no compatibility option.

So, I ran the setup from the disc (no autorun) as admin with a Windows Vista compatibility (maybe others compatibilities are OK but I didn't test them). Install was a success.

I tried to launch the game as admin with all compatibility options. It never worked.

I installed the official french patch 1.1, but I'm almost sure it changed nothing.

I replaced the original .exe by the NoDisc .exe #1 that can be found here for German/English version.

I know this kind of thing is used for pirate versions, but I didn't find any other solution and it worked fine with my french game. Game launch was a success.

Still, I discovered bad textures bug on the characters waiting at the school of art (pure black textures, except their eyes) but not on characters waiting at the maintenance.

Then I re-launched the game as admin with Window 98/Me compatibility this time.

All is good ; textures cleared.

I am not sure by where and why it is now working, but it is here all that I've done.

Good luck to all of you.
