   Has anyone managed to figure out how to keep the game from freezing?

   Got it to work on windows 10! Took a bit, so let me detail as much as I can.

   Once you have the game downloaded and installed, you’ll need to also download d3drm.dll. Perfectly easy to find online.

   Once that’s downloaded, extract the DLL. Go to “C:\Program Files (x86)\3 Day Eventing” and paste the DLL file directly into this folder.

   From here, run Jumper.exe as administrator. It’ll ask you to insert Disc 2. This is in the main game folder that you downloaded from here. It’s the Disc Image File. Mount it and run again.

   Sometimes the graphics can be a little wonky, but after restarting it a few times, it’s running very smoothly.

   I’m not super tech literate but if anyone has questions I’ll do my best to answer! Happy riding!

       You find the Disc Image File in your C:\Program Files (x86)\3 Day Eventing folder. From there you should be able to simply right click and select ‘Mount” on Windows 10!

         I got it to finally load using your steps! but i’ve launced and had to force close 4 times due to the graphics issue – the mouse is dragging across the main screen and won’t actually go past that visually, audio works fine though. any ideas?

   Has anyone had success actually playing this download, if so, would love a tutorial on what needs to be done to get it to work properly

     You must use the Launch file, not the 3-day eventing, to launch the game. I had a heap of trouble using the 3 day eventing file(the one with the jumping horse) then I used the Launch file (launch.exe.) and it is PERFECT!

   This still holds the spot of “best horse game” in my heart, but I cannot ever get this download to work! Tells me that d3drm.dll is not found… I downloaded that and tried placing it in a number of locations that were recommended to me, and nothing worked.. What else can I do??

   Forgive me, I can download it but whenever it gives the pop-up to play it doesn’t open the actual game. Am I missing something?

     I had to create a Windows XP virtual machine using VirtualBox. Here’s a good guide: https://eprebys.faculty.ucdavis.edu/2020/04/08/installing-windows-xp-in-virtualbox-or-other-vm/
