Installation went swimmingly. I double-click the desktop icon and receive an immediate pop-up: "VirtualProtect() Failed." And that's it. I see some articles from 2003 when I Google this error, but I wonder if anyone else on GOG has encountered it. I'm running Windows 8 Consumer Preview as my OS.

Try changing the compatability mode on the exe. See if switchinig it to winxp or one of the others makes any difference.

Switch compatibly to windows 95 or Win 98 that usually fixes that problem
