Can't get DW to launch

Hey,

I'm also having troubles with DW on my windows 10 PC
The game freezes and crashes when the loading screen is done loading and the game goes to full screen -> start menu
I've never seen the starting screen

- Reinstalled several times
- tried launching the game on several different ways (Steam, Admin, C:...)
- manual installed Direct9.0 and netframe 4.0
- disabled intro
- installed Windows media player

Ran already DXdiag
Any advice/help?

i got it finaly running
- Edited: startup.ini (playmovie 1 to 0)
- ran right-click windows-compatibility on C:steamapps -> distant worlds.Exe it self

now it works [&o] but only starting from C: / not from steam
