Windows 10: Star Wars Empire At War stopped working for some reason

I was playing all last week on star wars empire at war and its expansion pack. when I tried to load it up today and get this error


'This application is not compatible with the installed operation system. Please upgrade to Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or better'


I have tried using all compatibility settings, so any help would be much appreciated as I play this game often


I have the gold edition on disk in very good condition, should I just get the steam version ??


thank you for you time

Star Wars Empire at War gold pack wont start

Well here it goes, I have Star Wars Empire at War gold pack. However this isn't the normal run of the mill complaint on how FoC isn't working. Anywho I installed them bot on windows 10 and they both
run perfectly about a month in to them on the system I fire up Forces of Corruption and I am greeted with this message: "This application is not compatible with the installed operation system. Please upgrade to Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or better." I am a
very annoyed fellow right now and would very much like some help. maybe someone there knows how to fix this error as well.
