Software (game) running on Windows 7, not running on Windows 10

Hi,

EA Sports' Total Club Manager 2004 (released in autumn 2003) was running on Windows 7 by doing the following: Stopping explorer.exe in Task Manager --> running TCM2004.exe. This way I could play the game, no crashes. Compatibility modes didn't help. Now, unfortunately on Windows 10 it doesn't work. 

Does anyone have an idea how to run the game? (I tried virtual PC (Win XP) but I couldn't install a VGA driver so the game did not start.

Thanks in advance.

Imre

    I have found a solution for this problem.

    Set compatibility mode for all users to Windows 8.

    Add game to steam library, and run it from there.

    If anyone doesn't know how to do it, can add me to steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/mardzi/
