help getting star wolves 3 started

i had forgotten about some of those but ive been running it with admin and all and i did install all those thing when i first tried to play it. also compatibility mode doesnt help. thanks anyways

oh also heres a weird bit, my laptop has win8 on it and the game runs on there... sorta. cant really do anything but it gets to the main menu.

i got around to playing with the settings and things and i got it to not give me a runtime error anymore. it still crashes at launch, the little SW3 splash comes up then it closes and give a generic error. so thats a little progress i guess.
