I've never heard of this game before. Nor have I worked with a multipage dialog like the one you describe. So I'm going out on a limb here with these suggestions. But here are two things to try: 1 Use either Shift plus f10 or the Application key to bring up the context menu on either the Monopoly or the Monopoly 2002 icon. Scroll through the options to see is there if a Run in Compatibility setting. If there is one, hit enter on this and choose XP mode. Note that these settings may be in the Properties dialog, which is usually at the very bottom of the context %menu. 2 If you can operate items in that multipage dialog, look carefully through every control on every page to see if you can find an option to run in a compatibility mode for Windows XP. I have no clue if either of these ideas will work at all but these are what I would try if I were sitting at your machine. Let us know what happens with this game because it sounds funen
