that is because: emergency 3 can't run on windows 8, if you really want to play it, i would considder to buy a window 7 or xp laptop/ computer, wat you may try is to start the game as administrator, if that didn't work, ( i shoulnd't change to much to it, it may ruin the game )

A have another PC with windows 7, but there is this problem too. I think it can't run on any windows newer than XP.

Essentially, Windows 8 is too "smart" to run a game that was meant for XP. Once the game is installed, you need to change the way that Windows runs the program. You right click on the .exe file that runs the game and click on properties, then the compatibility tab. Set it to run in Windows XP compatibility and if there is versions of it, run it in the highest. Also, click the check-box that says run as administrator. These options might help you as it did to me. There's not much you can do after these steps to make it work. Best of luck.
