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?

    Something strange is going on here!

    I have Win 10 and an old Sidewinder FF 2 stick.

    FS2000 works a treat, no issues!

    CFS Collection 2 (WW2 Europe, Pacific, Cold War Air Power) will start, but is badly controlled from the keyboard. If you calibrate the joystick from CFS (i.e. calling the windows joystick calibration routine) its there and its fine - its just that CFS can't see the stick inputs.

    Any offers?

    cheers

    My new computer is  ASUS F555L  windows 10

    Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 Battle for Europe won't work - it loaded both discs

    Gives error message access denied  "please log in with administrator privileges and try again

    I went to run as administrator and clicked it - it still won't run

    My Microsoft Flight Simulator X works wonderfully

    Go to SOH - Combat Flight Simulator website. 

    Click  "Forum" ,  upper left

    Click  "CFS3 General Discussion"

    Click  "Running CFS3 in Windows 10"  in first group of Threads.   There should be many items to help you with your new PC.  Good Luck!!!
