What computer/OS do you have and do you have graphics drivers correctly installed?
If you don't already have it, try installing 'vc++ redistributable':

I tried running the game on a Windows 11 machine today and to get it to work I needed to:
1. Right-click on the Cortex Command.exe, select 'Properties'.
2. Go to the 'Compatibility' tab and check these on:
- 'Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7'
- 'Run this program as an administrator'
3. Click Apply and it should run fine this time.
I was able to play it normally without issues after doing that.
Hmm I don't what else could be the cause. It was strange that your PC had that "set video mode error" since I never got that one on Windows 11 machine I tested on - it was a different error, and it got fixed by the compatiblity mode thing.
I asked Perplexity AI and it gave these suggestions you can try to get it running:
