Think it was 1024 x 768. I had to change it before starting the game as it didn't change it automatically. Also couldn't finish the game as for some reason the game wouldn't save for me. Tried all the suggestions here with no luck so gave up!! Hope it works for you.
Was that the demo or the full game?
If it was the game, the things to try are:
Install in a location that Windows isn't trying to protect from changes -- for example in your user's My Documents folder.
Start the game as an administrator by right-clicking the game exe or shortcut and choosing to Run as Administrator.
Change the compatibility mode of the game to Windows 2000 (a different compatibility mode may work better on your computer).
Temporarily disconnect from the Internet and turn off your antivirus when you play.
You may have to do one, two, or all of these things in order to get the game to save, despite the fact that people will tell you the game worked perfectly on their computers without making any changes. No two computers are alike. If you order 10 computers the exact same model and specs from a computer manufacturer, there will always be one of them that is different and will have quirks.
thanks now can anyone tell me the screen resolution best to run as my screen keep saying optimum mode the mode optimum mode say still dont work game
Is it saying "optimum mode" or is it saying "not optimum mode" and not displaying a picture on the screen?

After 4 years' trying, I got easiest even perfect solotion. D:
step 1: Connect monitor to computer
step 2: Apply Linux system (the logo disappears)
step 3: Reset VGA similar to Windows set
step 4: Press F8, apply Windows safe mode, and set resolutions again
Hopefully, it recovers. Good luck.!!

Your Samsung monitor is what is producing the message.
At the bottom edge of your display there should be a row of buttons, one
of which will initiate 'auto adjustment' on the monitor settings, this
should bring your display back at least temporarily.
You should also check that the screen resolution setting you have in
Windows matches the native resolution of your Samsung display, it will
contintue to blank the screen if you do not set it to native resolution.
If these do not apply, tell us the name and model number of your monitor -- for example, Samsung Syncmaster 710N
