Be careful when Windows 8 64bit * UPDATE * - Now works

1. Installation - It has a custom installation path to be specified (not a problem)
2. error message after you enter the serial number: need to start the game a TARGES-DRIVER will be installed in order to bypass the copy protection.
3. Black window viewing, then crash: Right-click on the Start file, then "treating the Kompatilitäsproblemen"
4. The game launches finally desired, then the next problem: The game jerky without end and it is unplayable - according to research I came to the following forum entry:

"Once you start a scenario that game but is running extremely slow. So I have 1503 last at the time seen on my then 400MHz computer. Why is that, I do not know. Mind you, Windows 7 on the same machine running in 1503 properly.

The windowed by 1503 can not be used in Windows 8 as Windows 8 knows no 16bit color depth more. And no, there's also no trick or so, the operating system can no longer simply. Microsoft has put in his own words in the interests of other features deliberately in 32bit color depth. Here's an old hat was cut. "

I have not managed to get the game to run unacceptable and had to uninstall it now. Unfortunately, the money thrown out the window.

If anyone knows a solution, like report. Thank you.

UPDATE 04:06:14 - got the game under Windows to run with 8:

Run Registry Editor and search under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion AppCompatFlags Layers. That should already contain an entry of 1503. Otherwise just create a new string:

Name:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ 1503 \ 1503Startup.exe
Type:
REG_SZ

Selecting this entry and submit below value following without the quotes:
DWM8And16BitMitigation 8And16BitAggregateBlts

That's it, now it should run.
