Just got a windows 8.1 tablet (Toshiba encore).
It runs direct X 11 and all the dxdiag test pass OK. Screen resolution is set to 1280x800.

Geneforge 5 starts up and run OK however 1-4 all crash at the spiderweb software splash screen.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Geneforge games are old and use older version of DirectX so you'll need to install DirectX 9c (it does not come with DirectX 10+ install, essentially it's legacy mode for Vista+ OS's). Althought if you're missing it, I've no idea why 5th work as it's definately not directx 10+ game either. Did they give any errors? Can the taböet handle the 800x600 resolution the older games use?

Here are links to web installer and standalone installer.

Solved it. The first 4 won't start without a mouse connected.
