So since I had installed the WOG mod to my HOMM3 Complete install on my older Windows 7 machine, I just copied the entire 3DO folder from the C drive and pasted it into the same area of the C drive for the new Windows 7 machine. I then just selected the WOG executable and was able to play HOMM3 WOG without actually installing the HOMM3 complete from the discs.

I let it play through and when It reaches the menu screen I still can't move the mouse or anything.. Does anyone know what thsi problem is and how it an be fixed! I am on Windows 7 Home edition. Thank you... HELP Mark Hi,

I bought HMMIII A while ago, like, 2005? And it has the classic problem of the buttons on the auto-run window not working. I don't know hwo to install it on to 64-bit, and the setup.exe file in the \setup folder seems to have disappeared. Familiar simptons? Help me out, please!

Haven't had any problems at all. The installer comes up with a large number of absurd warning messages (e.g. "requires 32 Mb of memory to run. Your computer only has 2 Gb. Would you like to install anyway?"), but one can safely ignore them. (What's with that anyway? I could understand if it was unable to tell how much memory a modern computer had, but to correctly work out and report how much memory I had, and then somehow fail to realise that 2048 > 32 is just ridiculous.) By the way, I don't have the complete edition, just the base game. I just installed heroes 3 yesterday on Windows 7 64-bit. Haven’t had any problems at all.
