Are you running multiple monitors simultaneously?

If so - try running just the one monitor at a time and see if it works properly in the older 1980 HD and with the new WUXIA one.

IIRC, some users have reported hiccups with multiple monitor setups, some have resolved that by playing the game on the first monitor (where the toolbar resides? - I don’t use multiple monitors). Some, I think, had to unplug the second monitor. The game is written with a graphics engine that is well before multiple monitors were a thing, DirectX 5 I seem to recollect, I have built it with the DirectX libraries. Current Directx is like version 15 or so I believe?.

And if you have the usual "integrated" graphics with shared RAM and so on rather than a proper graphics card, these can apparently only run smaller resolutions on multiple monitors. Not something I'll be able to try out on this new Dell, all Inspirons use this "slugged" budget-mode HDMI video connector which is built into the motherboard apparently, and that wont drive more than 1920x1080 mode. Wish that I had delved deeper into the specs before buying that model of Dell, as I would have given it a body-swerve if I had realised the limitations of the cheap video hardware inbuilt to these Inspirons!

But video is a weird thing. I used to have a virtual windows XP machine - VMware - to boot to play Civilization 3. After a Vmware update, it refused to run it. Windows 10 played Hearts of iron 4 just fine, but a VMWare w10 virtual machine wouldn’t play that properly - just in a vertical box. Windows 11 barfed on it. But VMware have released the full engine for private use - I threw HOI on the W11 virtual machine I had just made (idea is to do my home banking on the VM - keeping it a level secured from the outer windows 11 on the actual hardware) - VMware Player (the cut down version) - wont properly scale HOI to the screen. But the newly released for private use "full fat" Vmware fusion(?) engine will. Sound's the exact opposite on the 2 vmware players - the cut down player runs the audio, the full-fat fusion one gives me an error about object creation..

That being said, its worth a look at playing the game in a Vmware (or other virtual provider) container if you have problems as it may work there if not on your physical hardware. Although the current owners of Vmware have made it very difficult to actually find the latest free version - I usually updated by the inbuilt link in the VMware engine, but it stalled and barfed on the last internal update process so off I went to find the latest installer - I think I found the actual link to that through a google search and a Reddit post that showed up, having had the run-around on the owners website! That was midway to later last year, maybe they have stopped messing about on their site by now?.
