    Try right clicking on the shortcut, go down to properties, switch to the compatibility tab, click the 'run this program in compatibility mode' and put the pulldown options on XP (Service Pack 2), you might also try clicking the box at the bottom that says 'run this program as administrator'.

    After making these changes press 'apply' and then 'ok' and then try double clicking on the shortcut again.

    Post back if it still does not work.

    Otherwise, I hope you might consider other simulation-style games for your spouse. Games such as Civilization 4 and SimCity 4 might be good options.
