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.

  • 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.

  • "Heroes of Might and Magic V" will not work

    Hello, I have recently updated to Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7 and now my game "Heroes of Might and Magic V" (by Ubisoft) will not work. It worked fine in Windows XP, but now when I try to start the game, I get an error message saying that the program has encountered a problem and needs to close. Why does not the game works? I tried to run in Compatibility Mode, but nothing helped. Nothing about what Windows 7 tent will not work. I ran the program compatibility problems and may not solve my problem. Please help me.

    Necropaxx,
    For any software that you plan to install with Windows 7, you can check the compatibility here: Windows 7 Compatibility Center

    It seems that Heroes of Might and Magic V is always tested with the proponent to ensure compatibility.  You can try running it in compatibility mode.  This link will give instructions about this:make programs run on Windows 7

    Yes, you can reinstall clean 32 bit vista

    you need to get the sony vista recovery disc

    or use your recovery partition

    It depends on how you install 64-bit whether if the recovery partition is left untouched or not

    You can also reinstall the 32-bit version of this way

    borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow correct 32-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    ask also sony how to make this recovery partition recovery disks now before you go ahead and install the 64-bit vista

  • Chicony webcame is not working on the Satellite A350-12j and Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    The chicony webcam does not work on my toshiba Satellite A350-12j and windows 7 64 bit...

    I always get different errors as
    "graphics make it fail."
    "the device is locked by another program.
    etc...

    I tried many things and watch them on a lot of messages, but nothing does. I installed a lot of drivers and programs to solve, but nothing works.
    at first the camera was ok but now nothing seems to help and the camera is broken...

    Can you help me??

    Thank you!

    > seen as 1 million messages like mine and not even 1 right answer on how to solve it!
    I guess you didn't read all these messages correctly

    The user Symbian wrote that her webcam works fine! He used the software/driver for the Toshiba page as well

    Since the Skype reports an unknown error too, I guess that this whole thing has noting to do with the webcam software, but with your Windows 7 installed!

    Seems a registry keys, files or all what it might be, are confused upward!
    In your case, I would try a new installation! Install Win 7 and the Toshiba drivers/software.
    Then test the webcam.

    Don t install any 3rd party software before you would test the webcam!

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

  • Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

    I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

    However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

    I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

    How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

    [I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

  • Rotate and move the 16-bit Image

    I would like to rotate and move a 16-bit RGB (U64 in LabVIEW) image.  The IMAQ turn and shift functions do not accept this type of image, but they do not accept an image in 16-bit grayscale (I16 in LabVIEW).  Unfortunately, this clips all values in my original image since it extends from-32, 767 to + 32 767.  The ExtractColorPlanes function requires a 16-bit image to be wired as the destination image but the IMAQ create VI does not U16 to create image.

    Any ideas?

    Just to be proactive... Here is an example of the problem.  I tried to download a (small) 16-bit tif, but is not a valid extension to download.  Photoshop allows me to record a 16-bit RAW, TIF or PSD: none of which can be downloaded.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
