    Hi

    Possible you can use the compatability settings in Windows 7 to install and run the game, worth a try.

    To do this uninstall the game if its installed now, then re-install but right click the games installer file and choose Properties then Compatibility and choose XP SP3 in the dropdown and tick the run as administrator box, and install the game, then before running the game right click its shortcut and choose Properties > Compatibility and then again choose XP SP3 for the setting and apply then try the game.
