Got it to work! Ended up having to uninstall everything and reinstalling it into the 'My Documents' folder, added the cracked CI.exe and it runs. No compatibility or administrator modes necessary.

? Both the base game and CI's .exe files don't have any compatibility modes active. Learned that I'm not the only one with this recognization problem, it seems to be unfortunately common and without any clear solution =(

There's a logfile string under that line and the .exe is called "runblack.exe". There's no reason for it to be doing this, other than it doesn't like the cracked CI .exe file.

Well, it's still a slight improvement over what it was doing before e.g. not doing anything and/or instantly crashing. My game directory does have spaces in the name, so I'll give another try sometime.

"You must have Black & White installed to play Creature Isle" LOL, it is installed (off the CD, no less.) I keep getting bad luck with expansions not recognizing the original games. Stupid Windows 7.

IDK, I'm still a bit skeptical =/  I remember waiting several hours for various torrents for another game that where supposed to fix the issue and they didn't. Some I had to buy twice, some I have never been able to fix to this day. I'll give it a try tomorrow if I have time, if same thing...

Fixing compatibility issues is not illegal as far as I'm concerned. It's something you paid for and now can't use. Not that'd it work for me, anyway, I tried it with some other game that had the same issue and it did not work either. The only true fix is a Steam or GOG release, or somebody...

Would be so nice if Steam released a Win 7 compatible version =/

I also have a PC with Windows 10, so if there is a way to get CI to work on it I'll just use that one instead.

How? I have the original game running fine now, but CI has the same issue B&W did where it does not start-up/the CD check is not compatible. Even with a CD crack it dosen't want to run. EDIT: Yes, I've tried compatibility modes and running as an administrator, no results.
