Steam problem playing Commandos

[Chaotic42]

I bought Commandos off of Steam, thinking that they would have adapted it to modern systems. Apparently I was wrong. I get an error saying "I cannot find DirectX 5" and it hoses my system almost to the point that I have to reboot.

I'm using Vista. Is there any hope?

I would have assumed the same thing. Hope you find a fix.

Try to run it in Windows 98 compatibility mode or try it in VM.
