If you are using Windows XP there is no need to run Getfeldt's Treasure under the compatibility mode. It will run just fine if you simply execute the GETFEDLT.EXE file. It is not a good idea to run it from the command window. This causes the window size to be incorrect and some text to overwrite or to be placed incorrectly in the runtime window. Be sure the GETFELDT.LIC file is in the same directory as the GETFELDT.EXE file or the program will show the missing, corrupt or altered error message and will not start.
