    Hi DJO

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    This game might be too old to run on Windows 10 and it is not certified compatible with recent versions of Windows.

    Your best option is to set up a dual boot configuration with an older version of Windows, such as Windows 7 32 bit and install it there. This is if your hardware can still run Windows 7. Most modern computers especially those with Skylake and Kabylake processors or AMD Ryzen don't support Windows 7.

    If yours does, then here is how you do it:

    Another option is compatibility mode, but many Flight Simulator users have seen limited success with it, but its worth a try as a first option:

    [E**DIT: This is very likely the main issue ....  Thepcgames.net  ...- It is against the terms of use for these forums to help with pirated software, and doing so can lead to a ban.

    Not only that...We wouldn't know what issues may come with the pirated version you are using anyway, so you would

    do better to post on  the site you downloaded the game from.  

    However,  COD does run well on Win10.

    I use Compatibility with XP sp2 and the Change High DPI Settings option.   ]

    Hmm, you must have posted just before I deleted that  post and put in the edited version.

    Anyway.... That post was meant for the OP.

    So did you find what you needed in my first post ?
