i am trying to play warlords 3 reign of heroes. and i am running windows 2000. the game will freeze anywhere from 1s till 2 minutes in. it freezes everytime. i think there might be a compatibility issue. i have downloaded the compatability tab that lets me change to a different compatibility layer. i have tried both 95, and 98. i have also tried reinstalling. is there any way i could get the game to work. this website suggests the following: Download the most recent patch, then they need to change the shortcut to: "x (Driver Letter):\Program Files\Red Orb Entertaiment\Warlords3\war3" -wincurs This will change the cursor so that the game will work. but i dont understand exactly what i should do. actually try typing that line in as the name of the shortcut, or what. please help me. maybe it would work under xp. and i apologize if this is the wrong forum, but nobody replies in the 2000 one.

cmon, you guys have to know how to fix this, or at least say it cant be done. please help me out. i really need to know if i can fix this ****.

well, that worked in that i could open the game and play for awhile, but sadly after a minute it still froze. it didnt have a windows cursor either. how could i get it to work? maybe run it in dos? i dont know if win2k has a dos prompt tho. please help me. i am in the middle of an email game, and i cant make a move.

i dont know a whole lot about computers. i just installed a new 40gig hard drive and formatted and i am now running windows 2000 on it. i still have the old hard drive from the computer sitting in the slot. i want to know how to run both of them at the same time. i want to be able to load up the windows 2000 and be able to switch over to the old hard drive to play a game that only seems to work with windows 98. can someone explain to me how i do this? thanx

yes i am sure. what is wincurs i did a search on google. and ntcompatible is the only web page out of 3 billion to have that word in it.

a box pops up that says "The name "C:\Program Files\Red Orb Entertaiment\Warlords3\war3 -wincurs" specified in the target box is not valid. pleas make sure the path and filename are correct.

thanx for the reply, it said that that was not valid. does anyone else have any ideas?
