How to make RTC 3 work? - xEsther8 - Dec 21, 2019

Hi Everyone,

I have RTC 3 on disk, including soaked and wild.
I have a gaming laptop, the MSI GE65 Raider 9SE-028NL.
Now I try to install RTC 3. (Not the expanding versions). And it simply doesn't work. I can boot it up, but I don't hear the music and I don't see the menu. Even if I try to do the option: Solve compatibility. Or run as administrator it doesn't seem to work. So i try to do it in compatibility mode but it didn't work aswell. I have updated my usb cd driver, i have updated NVIDIA, I did do the Windows updates in settings. But it doesn't seem to work.

How can I make it work without crashing my computer or not jailbreaking it? Maybe reinstall it again? Maybe turn of my Anti Virus? 

Can anybody help? What do I need to do?

Also, it's Windows 10. Just got my brand new laptop.

Win10 is not friendly to older games. My only suggestions are to run the installer as admin and in xp compatibility, set the game to run as admin in xp mode, maybe limit the exe to a single core. Also try the VOGONS site (Very Old Games On New Systems).
