After doing that and still running it with the compatibility wizard, it looks
like its going to start-- we see the opening window, then we get:
__________________________________________________ _____
Lockdown.exe has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close
the program and notify you if a solutin is available.
_______________________________________________
Then when the program is closed we have on our desktop a very large notepad
log:
__________________________________________________ ______

I stopped with the cut and paste there, because it really is quite large.
Hope this is fixable. I even posted on the games community site in the
hopes, but looks like they are all at a loss as well.
Thanks for trying with me though.
