I created an account just to respond to this thread. Thank you so much for your advice regarding the multi-threading, Schrullenhaft! I'd been so upset that I couldn't run this classic game on my new Windows 8 laptop. Your suggestion regarding changing the "affinity" for the EXE did the trick. As an addition, I was able to start the game, ALT-TAB out and set the affinity (while still on the menu screen), and then go back into the game and it worked. I didn't have to wait for the 3D part to load. I am so excited about finally being able to play the "To the Volga!" campaign!
