Game will not launch

[Budman]

So I have been struggling with a problem for hours and I didn't check here for a while because I had figured the game was too outdated for anyone to focus on the forums of it. I badly just want to play the game so I'm trying everything now.

I have a steam version and am running on a computer capable of running this game. I am however using Windows 10, which I believe may be the source of some problems.

When I launch the game absolutely nothing happens. I read another forum thread that said to run it from the game's files, so I tried this. I came up with the error "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I looked up this error and found numerous ways to fix it and tried every single one. Sadly, none had any effect on the game.

I did try verifying the game's files via steam and also tried reinstalling the game completely. Still nothing.

I saw in another forums post that it is common to show a HLP.log file but I cannot find it on steam version.

Any info will help
