That game can be a little demanding so maybe it’s specs related. You can also try running it (DOA5A.exe in game folder) in Win 8 or 7 compatibility mode just to test if it works for you that way. 

  

Thanks for your reply Enkak, though I apologize for my delay in responding due to work commitments.

So I tried what you suggested and non of that worked unfortunately.  Beyond it being like you feel it might be, possible spec related, I’m somewhat stumped on the solution for this game though I wont give up just yet.  But if it was spec related alone, would it not simply run with poor but with poor frame rates instead?.

That aside I’ve also tried it on my daughters old laptop, that being a 6th gen Intel I3 processor with a dedicated Geforce graphics card and whilst slightly different issues it still wont run on that either.  Though I’m trying to update what I can on that laptop to try again and see what happens. Though I’m slightly of the feeling that it might be an unknown file requirement issue, be it graphics or something else.  I will keep this thread updated after I carry out further testing.  But if that still doesn’t work on the laptop I’ll try again in the week on the other desktop once I unpack it.
