How do you get CFS3 to run with Windows 10?

CFS3 did run with Windows 8 and 8.1 but will NOT run with Windows 10.

How do you fix this?

    Running Microsoft flight simulator 2002 on HP Touch Smart 15 core i3.  Worked fine on an old computer with XP with only 512k memory, also ran on this i3 fine for a few times,  but now fails to start (not responding) displays the start page of the FS2002 and hangs.  Note: this started to happen right after I 'by mistake ran fighter Ace 2 game.

     The registry is messed up with errors like:   {CABARCHIVE is corrupted.}  etc.  What can I do to fix is mess.....?

    I tried the compatabilty mode in vista with service pack 2 which worked well on my last computer.but not with windows 10

    might be an idea to dual boot or use another machine with an older version of Windows such as XP for dinosaur games that do not work with Windows 10
