Attempting to run Rainbow Six (1998) PC on Windows 10

[Lambe]

Hello, as the title suggests, I'm attempting to try and run the original Rainbow Six on the PC on windows 10. At the moment whenever I start up the game, it appears in the task manager, however there is no tab what so ever that appears for me to tab into the game, nor does it display by itself. I was wondering if there was some possible way to fix this. I also tried running the 1st Ghost Recon, it did work, however there were flickering issues which I should be able to fix soon through troubleshooting myself. I've tried messing around with a few settings with Rainbow, such as running it in compatibility but no luck.

I was hopefully wondering if anyone would have any ideas to suggest to try and get this game to run. My reasoning is because it would bring back so much memories from playing such a memoriable game. Thank you very much for any suggestion you may make.

Hello,

You may try the following;

- Run the game in compatibility mode under Windows 98/Windows ME Or Windows XP. You may want to check as well under compatibility tab "Run this program as an administrator"
- Try to update your graphics driver to the latest version.
- Try to update/install the DirectX 9 components. This can be found from the official Microsoft download center.

Try the above. Also, if that doesn't work, run a Virtual Machine of an older Operating System that supported that game (See last comment below).

OR, Steam has the whole collection, don't they? Why are you kicking a dead horse?
