  • Open the directory with the game and find pool_paradise.exe. Right click on pool_paradise.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP"
  • Launch the game and play
  • The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, works fine

Troubleshooting:

  • If the game doesn't run - launch the game, then open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) and check for processes pool_paradise.exe and rundll32.exe. Close pool_paradise.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). Now try to launch the game again, it must work. Don't forget to close rundll32.exe process in Task Manager after finishing playing.
