Program going ape!

I have a program (Ecco) that I would dearly like to use on this trip.
It was working perfectly at home before I started this trip.

When I start it up now, it goes completely bananas!

-Little circles/dots appear all over the screen and fade away.
-The cursor jumps around all over the place like on steroids.
-The program is minimized at random!
-Other apps are maximized at random!
-All these things happen very rapidly, it's like a 10 rings circus.
-I need to try to shut it down as quickly as possible before any damage is done.

Has anyone here experienced anything like this?
Any tips on what to do/try?

TIA

    Try compatibility mode for the program's executable, using Win7 or XP as the setting?

    Thanks for the suggestion Mike.
    I tried it out but had the same results.  :(

    The fact that I was able to use the program without any problems before my trip seems
    to indicate that something has changed on my system that is sabotaging that one program now.

    Ah, heaven forbid, but:  perhaps a Windows Update crudded things up?
