Problem with Thunder Brigade

Hello, I'm using Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit, Pentium Dual T2330 1.60 GHz,
1 Gb RAM.

Well, my problem is that I can't run the setup.exe(installer) of Thunder Brigade (1998 game: YouTube - Thunder brigade gameplay). I double click the exe but it's like I didn't click, there are no errors no messages... I tried to activate some compatibility with privilege leves in "Properties". This is a Win95/98 game. Can anyone give me some help? please.

Re: Problem with Thunder Brigade

Ok, I could install it. The solution: give compatibility and privilege to all *.exe files in the cd. Now I have another problem related to codecs. When I try to start the game, the screen becomes black, I hear the sound of the first animation (Interavtive magic), then I hear a click and nothing more, so I press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to terminate the aplication. When I tried to run it in another account, it showed me a message, something related to a ffshow or ffdshow that is not in a list or backlist (can't remember), well, it gives me some options there are: use f...show(allways), use f...show(this time), don't use f...show(allways) and don't use f...show(this time). Also there was a check box that said "don't show this message again" I never checked it and the message didn't appear again. Well in that oportunity I chose "use f...show" (allways) and I got the same result when trying to play. So I ran it in another account (my sister's account) and sowed me again that message, so I chose "don't use f...show"(this time), and SURPRISE! it worked perfectly and I could play Thunder Brigade. I don't know how to configure that ffshow or ffdshow, the messages didn't apear again, and I don't know if in my sister's account it still works, because it has a password. (there are three accounts in my pc, mine, a public and my sister's one). Can anyone give me a solution, if not, I will create another account just for playing Thunder Brigade choosing the "don't use f...show(allways)" option.

No, it didn't work, I tried installing INDEO 5 too but didn't work. Can I configure the ffshow from anywhere?
