Yep. Compatibility. But there is hope. Find the game icon. Right click it and click Properties...

Ive managed to find a fix for this and I can see a number of people are having the same issue. I the game wont boot at all but has installed then right clicking the WW3 Black gold icon, selecting properties=>compatability tab and then selecting to run as administrator does resolve that issue so thanks to Bryan D for that one!
But if the game does begin to boot but you get stuck on trying to select the resolution type and cant get use the ok button then download the World War 3 Black Gold 1.2 Patch and install it and this should resolve the problem.
