Heroes of Might and Magic II: problems with 64 bit

I'm having trouble installing my old set of 96, Heroes of Might and Magic II. When I try to install the game on my Windows 7 64 - bit processor, or run it at all, I get an error indicating that it is incompatible with a 64-bit version of windows. I have found no online help for such an old game. What options are available to me that would allow me to launch this game on my computer?

My friend has Windows 7, but running at 32 bits, and is able to play the game.

Hey Stas,

I fear that the game will not work because it is not compatible with 64-bit operating systems. However, we have an option.

You can run the game mode XP provided your version of the operating system supports installation of XP mode.

Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise.

  • Cannot install Heroes of Might and Magic 3 CD

    I have the CD of the series Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and have successfully installed on previous versions of Windows, 98, XP, Vista and Win 7, but I am unable to install in Win 8 and it is very frustrating.

    Hi, I lived the same problem installing on my Surface Pro win 8 64-bit. Goes directly to the _setup of traffic rights the setup.exe with compatibility mode and CD player and administrator has not helped at all. In the end I managed to do work by rebooting in safe mode, then enter the CD\_setup\setup.exe and run the file without compatibility or admin rights and this mode market. After installation, restart normal Windows, go to the installation directory, right-click on heroes3.exe and select run as administrator + XP SP2 compatibility mode. Now everything works perfectly.

  • Heroes of Might and Magic IV + 64 bit Vista

    On 64 bit versions of Windows Vista, Heroes of Might Magic IV causes an immediate BSODS in operating, even in user mode.  I don't know how or why, but it's reproducible consistantly.  It's maybe just me, but it seems that any application that can cause a blue screen of usermode would be a security risk.

    Actually, I bought the collection, which includes I, II, III, IV and V with all extensions.

    At the beginning I could not install one of the games (windows versions not BACK) which was a pain (running win 7 64 bit), but after hours of Googling the question. I found a piece of gem of advice.

    1. Run Windows in Mode safe
    2. Install the game
    3. Return to the Normal Mode
    4. Play the game
    5. YEHHHHH WIN 7 64 bit running HOMM I, II, III, IV, without any problem.

    Hope this can help someone, somewhere down the track.

  • I use an analog input on a PCI-6224 and are having problems with the clock source

    I use an analog input on a PCI-6224 and are having problems with the clock source. I'm trying samples of 16 different analog inputs very quickly. I have the sample mode: Timed Single Point material. The rate, that I am running is the maximum (250 kHz (15625Hz per channel)). I left the default clock source and trying to taste several times. The analogue input works for a short time (2-3 seconds) and then everything stops. I'm doing something wrong or is there something I'm missing? Any advice would be great.

    That's how you samples using the sample clock clock. If you see a delay then something is wrong with how you track/data visualization.

    Single point NI the hardware is for PID control with a real-time operating system.

  • After 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear

    Hello, after 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear... what should I do? Help, I don't want to say 'goodbye' to it already... Thank you

    It could be the plug on the computer that is the cause of the problem. Try another helmet or a pair of speakers in it.

    If you hear only on one side, who will tell you that is the question.

    If you hear from both sides, you must obtain a new helmet

    Software will fix either of the foregoing...

  • E4200 w 2 - re1000 and still have problems with wireless coverage

    I have a big enough House, 4500 square feet, and there a lot of bricks and stucko.  I wired ethernet ports in most of the rooms.

    For my Apple TV and tower PC, PS3, I used a wired connections.

    But we have a lot of devices without wireless, 4 laptops and 3 iphones, 3 ipads so good wireless coverage is a must.  I'm not looking for a budget solution, just the best solution that I can.  I also have a wireless baby monitor and an ATT Wireless TV receiver.  I have no end of problems with wireless on my devices.

    Without a lot of research I boght a couple re1000 thought that would be the solution to my problem, but they don't really work as well as I would like.  I wish I had done my research as I think that the right solution is to have the other AP in the connection from the House to a 'hand' AP via wired connection (connection wired bridge mode?).  I could adjust only force and channel to maximize coverage for the House.

    Here is what is a must:

    One SSID in the House

    Everything must be on the same network.  I have a wired camera Foscam and use the features of the homegroup in windows.

    Taking as a basis the e4200, what other should AP I buy to connect to the main via a wired connection?

    I don't know how to close your home is to other houses, so I don't know if you might encounter interference from 2.4 ghz to your neighbors or other sources.

    I see that WAP610 is not simultaneous... only selectable.  iPhones are only 2.4 ghz

    Whatever it is, you can keep the same SSID for your entire network, but you may need to use different wireless channels.  Everything meets your criteria above.

    The only unknown is your neighbors (and other sources) Wireless interference.

    You can download inSSIDer, which will give you a better idea of what you're against, but it is not infallible.

  • Since the installation of Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappears, that in Firefox, Safari is very good...

    I stopped using Firefox as nothing I've done has corrected this problem. I tried to close Firefox and restart it, I erased all my Add-ons and then added adblock back (it's the only one), but it still does not work. I deleted files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything that works. I talked to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since the Mavericks.

    Cursor disappears huh? It's quite strange. All of the compatibility of the Mavericks can be followed in [Bug 883824]

    Try this work around:

    1. Go to Firefox > Preferences > advanced > general
    2. Always check "use the cursor keys to navigate through the pages.
    3. Press OK.

    Or try the Mac preferences noted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23542890#24471966

  • El Capitan 10.11.4. is safe to put up-to-date and not having problems with Adobe Creative Suite?

    I read a lot of problems with the update of the system of El Capitan, the thought of updating scares me. I use Adobe Creative Suite to work, so it is crucial for me that they work perfectly together. Resolved bugs in 10.11.4?

    Every single major and the Mac OS update brings out the horror stories. Which most is caused by systems that are stuck with rubbish like AV software applications Or really worthless, damaging as CleanMyMac, MacKeeper and other apps that garbage (haxies).

    The only real issue I've seen in El Capitan, which was specifically a problem known BONES was that placing old types of fonts directly in the folder/Library/Fonts /, or their activation in place with any font manager would not work. They had to be put into the folder of the user account or activated as a collected police policies. Which has been fixed in 10.11.3.

    Otherwise, I use most of the CC apps every day (primarily Photoshop). Everything works as expected.

  • Hi I'm new to all this, and I have problems with an update,

    I check the update history and I see 'microsoft-other material, Streaming media and broadcast-microsoft lifecam vx-1000' (status - cancelled / importance-recommended / date installed-1/6/2010) I click on it and get an 8024000 error code.  I noticed that my cam works fine when I click on it to take pictures or record, but when I try to use it with my Messenger, it does not show, when I use messenger and start a conversation the other person can only hear me but not see me! Please help me I'm confused!

    Hi kiajoe,

    (a) what messenger do you use?

    (b) the question (the Messenger) took place right after that you got the error code?

    Microsoft lifecam vx-1000 installs automatically without extra software, so I don't think it's a driver problem.

    If you receive the error Windows Update 8024000, it means that Windows Update is unable to read a file (update manifest) that is required for installation.

    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    1. click on the button to start the picture of the Start button, type run in the start search box, and then, in the results list, click Run.

    2 copy the following text, and then paste it into the text box run:
    Cmd /c %systemroot%\System32\Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old ren

    3. click on OK.

    4. run Windows Update again.

    Check if the problem with your Messenger continues once you have solved the problem of error code Windows Update.
