Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'.Also it is recommended to install RAD Video Tools and K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos.It is highly recommended to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for the correct work of the game.That NoCD "breaks" DRM protection and allows the game to work on modern systems NoDVD is required for the launch because the game is using SecuROM DRM protection, which doesn't work correctly on modern systems.If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP).Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing

Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Close iceage3.exe but don't touch rundll32.exe (it's a Windows app for running old apps from 32-bit operational systems, most old games running through rundll32.exe). If the game doesn't work - try to launch the game, then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes iceage3.exe and rundll32.exe. Right click on iceage3.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP" and "Run as administrator"

The game with NoDVD has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, works with no problem.
