I installed the game disk on windows 10. The game opens but the cursor shivers and jumps all over making the game unplayable. I know that it's an old game. Is there a fix for this for windows 10?

There doesn't seem to be any easy fix that I can find, nor any fix that works for everyone. Steam sells a download, but only lists Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and not newer.

A couple of people in this Steam thread

said they got it working in Windows 10, but that was two years ago -- and Windows 10 two years ago is a different OS from Windows 10 now, so suggestions may not work. Some people in that Steam thread mention tweaking the DxWnd launcher that is included in the Steam version, and one person wrote a how-to for using it here

Unfortunately some people say the DxWnd launcher made things worse.

pcgamingwiki only mentions a fix for crashing cut scenes.

It mentions a Steam page about DxWnd for fixing a flickering screen problem.

Unless you want to try fiddling with DxWnd settings, I don't think there's much hope for getting it working on Windows 10. It's hosted at sourceforge.

Best way to play would be on an old computer with Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP installed (if you happen to have one).

That's what I was afraid of it being an old game. I even tried downloading it from Big Fish but it wouldn't install. I guess if I want to play it I'll have to drag out my old computer. I really hate windows 10! My screen savers won't even work properly on windows 10! Thanks Jenny!
