links 2003 , microsoft golf 2001 , Links 2001 Championship Edition how 2 on w10?

[Cool Coyote]

DirectDraw or Direct3D option is unavailable

THE DEMO VERSION OF LINKS 2001 IS PLAYABLE, BUT INSTALLINGTHE GAME black screen only or the old game on w10 error

how could one get 1 of these games running on w10? , best i can do is play the demo version of 'links 2001'

usually after install you get a black screen from errors such as error directplay  init  links 2003

couldn't even see your reply m8. yeah nah obviously it would be the easiest way wouldnt it. all i want really out of this is the good ol FMV of the players i got 2003 links working on w10. but the players look like crap compared to this  

so really i want the earlier 2001 games, otherwise u get half assed animation
