For me works ok, Windows 7 64bit, even without compatibility mode, NVidia GeForce 260 here.

Maybe problems with installations

Right click your mouse on the game shortcut.
A small screen will appear with tabs.

Select:
Compatibility.

Now you will see:
Compatibility mode.

Tick the box:
Run this program in compatibility mode for:

Then from the drop-down list select:
Windows 98/ME or Windows XP Service Pack 2

Click Apply then OK

ADDED:

Another solution may be to not install in the (x86) folder.

Interrupt the game install and select/change the default path to anywhere but Program Files (x86)

A lot of older games are fine as soon as you do that.

My copy is installed in the old "Program Files | Novalogic" folder and works fine in Win7 64bit.

Can you get to options?
If you can, disable 3D Acceleration
3D Acceleration can freeze the game on some machines.

Look for a file called L3.ini and change your setting there if you cannot get to them in the game menu.

Make sure the line  ENABLE 3D is set to 0

GAME_FULLSCREEN 1
GAME_RESOLUTION 1024
MENU_FULLSCREEN 1
ENABLE_3D 0
MEMORY_USAGE 3

The game may start in 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 and a low bit depth


You can adjust the bit depth and screen res to 1024 x 768 from the L3.INI file.

My L3.INI file in Widows 7 64bit looks like this.

GAME_FULLSCREEN 1
GAME_RESOLUTION 1024
MENU_FULLSCREEN 1
ENABLE_3D 0
MEMORY_USAGE 3
TEXTURE_DISTANCE 26
BITDEPTH_SOFTWARE 32
BITDEPTH_HARDWARE 32
HW3D_DLL_FILENAME "Hw_d3d.dll"

Make sure Hw_d3d.dll is there

Having fun?

As usual your post is a load of patronizing bs.

Particularly here.

The user is obviously interested in getting F22 working.

I'm also sure the user is aware of other games.

You are being less than helpful.

You like to spoil things for others so much don't you.

Can't you add anything useful from your alleged wealth of knowledge and wisdom to the problem?

Please do if you can instead of your veiled sarcasm.
