That is wierd. Not much I can do about it :)
my guess is that if you carried over an OS from windows 7 or 8 it had more compatibility. I had troubles playing command and conquer red alert 2 with the same direct draw issue had to use windows 10 work around with a ddraw wrapper. Seems win 10 is fundamentally missing this feature if you never had any previous windows installed. Guess im boned.Will have to make a virtual machine just for the app it seems.
