  • This game is so old there is little information about it. That may be why PE does not see it. I cannot think of any other reason

    Is the old SheepD3D.exe running in some Windows Application compatibility mode? Windows 10 show all application compatibility settings in effect for running program has a suggestion to use Process Hacker to look at the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER environment variable. That might help understand why Process Explorer doesn't detect the old program. Understanding Shims might help in explaining how Windows Application compatibility mode works.

  • @ChesterGillon, I've yet to read about shims, but, yes, the __COMPAT_LAYER env var has a value of DWM8And16BitMitigation for that application. I take it ProcExp can't see processes with that compatability?
