When I run it I just get a minimized window and no way to get to it. It doesn't matter if it's fullscreen, windowed nor which resolution or filters I try. What exactly am I doing wrong? I see other similar complaints but no one has posted a working solution.

The game has a fixed resolution of 800x600, so try it with this.
Make sure DirectX9 is correctly installed, by installing this:

Run the game as Administrator and in Compatibility Mode (e.g. Windows XP SP3). Just right-click the game's start icon => Preferences => Compatibility; In Windows 8 or newer, use the Troubleshoot to set compatibility)

Nope, same result. I'm using Windows 8.1 if that matters at all. However as I've said - Ben There Dan That, the Wadjet eye games etc all run without this issue even despite being low resolution themselves. So what gives? :(
Ok my apologies - no one told me this game takes like 30 seconds or more to start .If I wait long enough the minimized window finally takes over my screen and it works.

So if you can't get it to start, just wait a bit longer.
