It's probably just incompatible. Like most of the old timers here JC Bailey refused to use modified versions of SOM to ensure the game works and is enjoyable. I think that their games probably only work without extreme glitches on 20% of computers.

XD ok.... Well I'm still open to a fix, if anyone has one.

It depends on if the company that makes the drivers for your computer system faithfully implement quirks of old software. Many companies don't, so that's why the GAME.EXE file wont work. But SOM isn't dead, I maintain it, but JC Baily was irresponsible so their project isn't going to last very long and only ever worked for a minority of users in the first place. Maybe you can update your drivers, but it's really not worth giving thought to. Plus I don't know if this is the best topic/thread to discuss this further.
