Exclamation Reboot on Windows 8

I had some trouble running SR2: Reboot on Windows 8. It ran but there was no video. What I did to fix it was to find the program's sub-folder in the Program Files folder, change the permissions on the "cfg.txt" file so that I could write it and then change the line that says "Window=No" to "Window=True". This runs the program in window mode, which works perfectly. You may also have to change the permissions on the folder it resides in.

He is speaking about SR2: Reboot that is available for many years, not the upcoming SR HD: A War Apart.

I gave full access to the shortcut & entire folder of the game. / compatible Xp/sp3 to that shortcut... still it does nothing.. every so often i can get the In-game Curser to appear and is anima, but nothing after that and it close's/crashes.. Win8 Pro.

I don't know if it helps for everyone but for me it worked.

I have windows 8.1 and when I started game in compatibility mode with Windows 98/Windows ME option it worked good when using full screen.

Step by step instruction

Go to place where you've got your game installed and find Ranger.exe, mostly common used
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Space Rangers\Ranger.exe
It can be somewhere else if you changed destination folder when installing Steam or your game.
Left click Ranger.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Check box for Compatibility mode -> Choose Windows 98/Windows ME
Start game and enjoy.

You can try other compatibility modes but this worked for me.

One last information it works for Space Rangers 1 and 2 Reboot in my case.
