HaHa!!!! More the fool me, it turns out I cannot play it anyway I go through the create account process and only option presented is to buy the game but the the link is useless and no information anywhere, most links are dead to forums, clubs and communities.

Guess what..... I realized my Mainboard also has Onboard Video after doing a search at Gigabyte so I bypassed the RX570 and bang, straight into VSK5 from desktop icon...go figure So issue is: Old Game not compatible with card ( as expected in the first instance) or maybe just AMD Cards as I was getting to VSK5 opening page with or without DXWnd But this workaround just means I swap HDMI Cable back to Video Card to play my F1 2023 Simulator as I have not removed the card, it still spins up but not...

Second Suggestion Yes the game boots without DXWnd to VSK screen, but still squares as above 1) turn DxWnd off (exit the program) 2) run Vsk5OnlineLauncher.exe and make it configure the game 3) turn DxWnd on, clear the "Launcher:" field and run the game executable "Vsk5Online.exe" directly from DxWnd. Ok all four tasks completed in sequence, however DXWnd will not boot VSK with this line Vsk5Online.exe, I reverted to original line direct from game file The game still launched with the Launcher field...

OK, First suggestion 1) clear the compatibility flags (the game is run with WinXP SP3 compatibility) using the "Tools > Clear compatibility flags" from the menu in the DxWnd titlebar 2) try running DxWnd with admin privileges 3) set "Video / Screen resolutions / native" flag 4) clear the "Launcher:" field, it seems useless. All these completed, The game boots faster and straight to VSK load page but still squares See Attached

Ok. update Virtual Skipper boots up immediately whilst running with DXWnd in Admin. Mode. However still squares on screen so I believe all is right with my end I believe Been reading previous posts on here and apparently disabling Hardware Acceleration my be a good option to try, but I believe this is not an option with my Card. I have tried through Chrome but no difference and I have tried with Windows but again no option here so, I believe Hardware Acceleration adjustment is not an option I have....

Ok, did not realise it was in the game folder
