Game not working on Windows 10

Anonymous

I installed a game yesterday and had to uninstall it because it would just not work. I tried everything. Frist, it would say I had to be an administrator for it to run, so I ran it as an administrator, but then it just wouldn't start. So, I ran the technical compatibility troubleshoot and tried every setting they recommended and it won't start or open at all. It doesn't even try to start. The run as administrator permission box opens and I click ok and then nothing happens. It still won't work. Any fixes for this? It worked before on windows 7 and then I upgraded to windows 10 and now nothing.

I have right clicked on everything and there is no troubleshoot compatibility anywhere to be found

I'm really not trying to be cheeky here! Define everything, please. Is this a CD game or a download? Casual, an app, or full game?

Mine was a CD game and it was the full game.

So far, all of mine have been full games on CD or DVD too. Examples of ones that played on Windows 8, will install on Windows 10, but will not launch are A Vampyre Story, American McGee's Alice, Syberia I and Syberia II and Vampire The Masquerade, Bloodlines.

downloaded, full games, purchased from Iwin, Big fish. Bought for grandson to play, but he wasn't able to on 10, so switchback to 8.1.
