I am not new to Subsim or SH3, as can be seen by my starting date

But I AM new to Win 10.

And for the life of me, I can't get the game to run in Win 10.
I have the game on DVD from the old days. So it had Starforce on it. I did the removal thing after it installed and it said Starforce wasn't installed. I patched to the newest version. Still doesn't work. I keep getting an error popup saying

"This application can be launched with a release version of Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/ME/Server 2003 only".

Tried compatibility mode with EVERY option available. Still won't start. Still same error popup. Getting desperate. I really want to play the game but I sure don't want to install Win 95.

Can anyone help?
