Thanks Steve, I tried your solution, unfortunately there are no Might and Magic games in that long alphabetical list of games in the tree on the left in Compatibility Administrator. Did you see M&M there sometime in the past?
I'm trying to run M&M7 on Win2000 and I've tried every suggested fix on this thread so far, except for a new partition, which will be my last resort. M&M8 coming next week, hope I have better luck. Any other suggestions greatly appreciated...
M&M7 used to work for me also, and now it doesn't, even with Win98. It's strange. The fact that many others seem to have experienced the same "worked but then it didn't" thing makes me wonder if the problem lies in one of the recent Windows updates we all probably have installed.
