Update to this problem:

Before the update, I was just playing the original MTW on my WinXP SP2 old Dell Dimension 3000 desktop. Works fine. When this machine dies, there goes MTW. One of the finest pc games around and still very playable after 20 years. I would also recommend Patrician III. I have Patrician IV and cannot figure out even the basic game controls because they changed the user interface. I am old and therefore have no patience with complexity and technique changes.

I have MTW2 on my Win 7 laptop, and the Kingdoms edition addon, and they both work fine. I use the built-in Intel graphics processor to run them. In fact, come to think of it, I never take any action to switch the Nividia graphics card on or off for any games, so I guess the built-in Intel card runs everything.

The Sega help desk technician who took over from Anna wasn't as engaging, and after trying yet another fix which failed, he said goodbye and goodluck after it failed. So, I am back to square one.

I will see if the game will run on my wife's Win 10 all in one, but I doubt it will. So, when the XP desktop dies, I will try to run it on her old XP desktop which doesn't have the extra juice mine does, and see what happens. I expect it will run. If not, I will try Steam, even though I will bite through my lip having to do so.
