Program Compatibility Assistant - Dungeon Siege

Had some problems getting your game to work, either the original game or modified games with user-made mods and maps? Let somebody know here.

I hope i could get some assistance here with PCA with the game Dungeon Siege. I do not want to turn it of for the game. I wish to turn it on.

Why? you may ask. Well it seems i could run the game perfectly fine with this popping up before launching the game: Image
The language you see there is in Norwegian but still you probably have seen something familiar like this with another game.

What i did i managed to turn it off and thought it wouldn't be a big deal. I chose to that it wouldn't pop up again when i started the game. But now i get a error when i try to run the game.
Yes i have tried to run the game in different compatibility modes and as administrato, and i tried to reinstall the game 3 times. But nothing helped.

So all i want now is to know how to turn PCA(Program Compatibility Assistant) pop up for the game again. If it is possible.

I would really appreciate any suggestions how to figure this out. And yeah i apologize if i have any grammar mistakes since I'm not that good in English.

EDIT: If you wonder what error it was it look like this: Image
And every time i try to close this error pop up it comes up again. And when i took a look in what kind of driver this is it is called: Protection Stub.
I dont know what the hell this is and what the problem is i have played the game perfectly fine on this computer(Windows 7). It all worked perfectly until i disabled PCA for the game.

Looks like it is controlled with Group Policy. I found this which tells you how to turn it off, showing you how to access the settings:

"The only sovereign I can allow to rule me is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists; what is, is. From this irreducible, bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. This is the foundation from which life is embraced.
Reason is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts, nor are they a means to discovering them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality - it's our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss we refuse to see."
