Is there any possibility of getting the battleground series, ACW, to work with Windows 10?

I recently downloaded the Battleground civil was game from Matrix.
Everything was going well until 2-3 days ago when I kept getting the message "cannot read battlefile."
The OS is Windows 10.
Many thanks.

RE: Windows 10
it maybe or sounds like an update has altered something, as if i worked before, and now it doesn't, then something has been altered, to test this, uninstall the game, make sure the folder is empty and clean, and re install the game and updates and also the pre requisites files, all of them, eve if you didn't un-install them, doing this will hopefully get the game back to a workable state, then if it does work, you know the update did something it was't meant to do, it happens, no idea why either.

I downloaded JT's Battle Ground Civil War yesterday and as I begin to load a scenario, the game stops and the scenario does not open. I have Windows 10 and I went through the testing/administrator process that Zakblood put together but still the same result. My video card drivers are up to date (Geforce GXT 1060)
Any ideas?
Thanks

RE: Windows 10
No, I did not succeed having tried everything. [:(]
The only solution that I found is to play on an old computer.
A remake of this already old game about 10 years would be welcome with an improvement of the graphics(zoom).

RE: Windows 10
Could there be a conflict with the opening videos causing it not to run?

That was my initial thought and have asked the players who reported the issue on the Helpdesk, to rename the "MatrixIntro.avi" file as "_MatrixIntro.avi". But unfortunately they said the issue persisted.
Anyway, you are welcome to try.
I still believe that it's related with the last Windows 10 update,as this issue only came out very recently.
RE: Windows 10
FYI,renaming the MatrixIntro.avi file did not work for me either.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Windows 10
I've tested in two different systems with the Windows 10 Creators update installed and unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.
Could it be related with how you have Windows UAC configured? I have my UAC disabled by default (I know I shouldn't, but...).
