its simple..
first change your region and language to japanese...
i assume you know where to change that but..just in case its located at the CONTROL PANEL
restart your computer and you should be able to play it..
but if it fails...
just backup all your drivers and update it though an old game like SECRET WIVES CLUB shouldnt have this kind of problems..
and you can actually read other threads in this location because it does gives you all a clue to identify the problems~
