If the game didn't launch in compatibility mode with Windows XP - try to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 98/ME.Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'.

The game works on DirectX 7, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'.If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP) and as administrator.Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Close Stupid Invaders.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). If the game doesn't work - try to launch the game, then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes Stupid Invaders.exe and rundll32.exe. Right click on Stupid Invaders.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set 'Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP', 'Disable fullscreen optimization' and 'Run as administrator' Open the directory with the game and find Stupid Invaders.exe.After you installed the game - install Windows XP/2000 patch.Also it is recommended to install DirectX from the disc (if you're using Windows 10 - enable DirectPlay, read this or this guide how to do it).In example, if CD1 was in virtual drive G:, CD2, CD3 and CD4 must be mounted in virtual drive G: as well CD2, CD3 and CD4 must be mounted in same virtual drive as CD1, so first un-mount disc image of CD1 and then mount the disc image of next disc. Do the same when the installation process will ask to enter next discs. When the installation process will ask for CD2 - mount the disc image of CD2.Launch the installation (if autorun doesn't work - simply launch the installation from Setup.exe inside the disc).You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite Although, on some systems the game works fine while on others it crashes or freezes, don't forget to check our Notes The game with patch has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, works okay. Windows 2000/XP patch showed some minor warnings on VirusTotal, it is safe to use
