Hey all

My wife just got a new laptop with W7.
I just copied the whole game folder with everything from our normal PC to her Laptop (so no real installing – just copying the files)
And it works like a charm…almost

We normally play multiplayer tcp/ip, with me on the normal PC and her on the Laptop.
But she keeps getting “thrown off” all the time.

I tried everything!
Uninstalled antivirus. Switched off firewall. Changed channel on our wireless connection to the router. Even plugged in network cabel to the router instead of using wireless

Nothing works – she keeps getting disconnected from the games we play…
Anyone can help with this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
so far I´m trying to install this game for a few days . I solved two of three problems, but still I there is a problem with DirectX. It doesn´t take the version I have, so I tried to install the version 7.0a, but still it says that I have unknown version…
Any suggestions, please?
thx Petra

Kevin is absolutely correct! I loaded it yesterday and just hit yes to all of the boxes that mentioned incompatability and loaded it anyway. After the opening scenes it runs like a champ.

Thanks Kevin!!

I’m running under XP SP2 compatibility mode. After my first flawless day, there were some annoying crashes. However, they have gone away entirely. I think the fix was updated audio drivers. With Windows 7, you’re dealing with new hardware probably and new software and drivers. This is a critical time to get updates to drivers.

all i can tell you ‘a’ is to turn off all antiirus programs running and aswell as installing as admin and running in 95 comp mode when u play the game do same.

Hi,

I have just gotten a replacement laptop with Windows 7 on it and would like to install HMM III, however I can’t get autorun.exe to do anything, either as is (no surprise), as an administrator, or under XP compatibility mode.

Any suggestions? I only have W7 Home Premium 32 bit.

Thx. A
