    Can't get game to start


    Just installed doom 3 and it will not start. I get a message "do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device" I tap yes and nothing happens!

    A quick look suggests
    a. It's a very old game
    b. It's not compatible with Win 10
    c. Compatibility mode and patches don't help

    You could perhaps run it in a virtual installation of e.g. Win 7.

    You can use
    Oracle VM VirtualBox
    (see its documentation, videos on youtube etc)

    or if you have Pro upwards you can use Hyper-V
    Hyper-V on Windows 10 | Microsoft Docs

    Not a quick answer to that.
