Game not working on Windows 10

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 did misunderstand!  I didn't realize you had it on a second computer you upgraded.  That is indeed good news as I still have to upgrade our American Legion Post computer and we use Money Plus.  Thank you for clarifying!

    Maybe my english was wrong. I said that in fact it is not necessary any more to hack for running Money.

    Microsoft did something : Money ran the first time ok on my second PC without any hack.

    So maybe for some of our games...

    But I'm probably a dreamer :)

    I'm glad to see there are others out there with this problem and posting here.  As I said, I'm not holding my breath for them to figure out what's wrong, but it sure would be nice to think they were at least looking into it.  If a game planed on 8.1, why won't it play on 10?

    Same here.  tried compatible settings for older games which work well in windows 8.1 but not working in 10.    What happens is my monitor is 27" set up in 1920 x 1080 but games show up 800 x 600 so screen is blown up to the point where you can't even see the exit tab and only way out is to re-boot. So switched back to 8.1.  Oh yes, tried the settings, etc for compatibility but doesn't work.
