EHM 2004 will not start

I have installed EHM 2004 successfully on my computer (Windows10) but I can't get the game to start. Nothing happens when I click on the game.

Does anyone know what can be wrong?

This could be the run as admin issue. Right click on the icon and select Run as administrator.

Edit: Doesn't seem like Windows 10 has that feature, or at least I can't find it. :-k

EHM04's a pretty old game! HaHa
IIRC I've seen mention of EHM07 and the new EHM both not working for some on Windows 10 (and Riz has said the new EHM wasn't optimized for Windows 10), though some have been able to get EHM07/the new EHM working on Windows 10 by using the "Compatibility Mode" - maybe try that?
