So I recently got back into monopoly and wanted to play it, however the version on pogo.com was sub-par and I wanted something better. Then I remembered I had a monopoly disc that I purchased back in like 2008 (Monopoly 3) but realized that this computer has no cd-rom drive so I had to use a program to convert it to an iso just so I could install it (Sigh sleekbooks)

when I did install it I had no error messages at all clean install, it ran flawlessly I thought. (Before, main menu: Screenshot by Lightshot ) Until I pressed ALT+Tab and when I did the graphics went all weird (In-game after main menu: Screenshot by Lightshot ) and was wondering if there was anything I could do to try and fix this.


Here is what the game is demanding I have:

8MB video memory
Min processor speed 333 MHz
OS type Windows
Operating system Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition,
Microsoft Windows XP,
Microsoft Windows 98
Software requirements DirectX 8.1 or later
System Requirements Details
Min RAM size 32 MB
Min hard drive space 140 MB
Min operating system Microsoft Windows 98/ME,
Microsoft Windows XP
Min processor type Pentium II

and here is what I have:

Based on those specifications I should not be having any issues, and I do have the latest Gfx drivers

It could just be that it won't work in Windows 8...I bought some older games from Humble Bundle , out of 25 games over the months...2 just won't work and 1 gives me graphical glitches...
