M&M 6+7: Can I have videos with the GrayFace patch insta
As soon as I install the GrayFace MM6/7 Patch I have no video sequences. I only hear the sound of the videos and the picture freezes on the last frame, with "esc" the game continues normally after the video.
Since the patches fix the exe so that I don't need the Play CD anymore I suppose the videos are on the play CD.
Can I somehow have videos with the GrayFace patch installed?

It might be because your running a 64 bit OS and trying to play a game designed for a 32 bit OS...
I found that out when I try to install older dos games on a 64 bit OS with out using D-Fend/Dosbox... It just doesn't work...
I might have to install a 32 bit OS again just to fix some of the compatibility problems...

Windows XP x64 (64 bit OS) could not run...
Win Xp Professional x64 (64 bit OS) could not run the Might and Magic Millennium Edition install (where the nice pdf hint books for might and magic 4-7 and all the nice extras...) So I will have to try Win 7 Professional x64/Win Xp Professional x86 (32 bit OS)

No error message, it's just the install program locks up
It is run through a 32 bit conversion process then the install program dissappears and nothing happens... So I just deleted Win Xp Professional x64 and went to Xp Professional x86 and kept Win 7 professional x64 (dual boot)

I did a clean Install of Win Xp Professional x86 (32 bit)
After loading all the drivers back on and windows update I was able to install World of Xeen, Swords of Xeen (Win 95 mode) and Might and Magic 6 and 7 (win 95 again) funny how the Might and Magic installer thought I had a 113 mhz processor (I have a AMD Phenom II x2 555 dual processer 3.214 Mhz)
So yeah older Might and Magic games have problems with 64 bit processors...

Xeen games are 16-bit and can only be played through DOSBox or Windows on Windows. MM6 and MM7 work just fine on x64, I have the Millenium edition as well and it installs just fine if you don't have any anti-virus or other settings preventing it from running.
Oh yea, and about the video problem - run the game in windowed mode and it should be back to normal. No idea why, but it works for me.

TheAnyKey, the problem would probably persist if you install Mok's patch, but I would be thankful if you try. New versions of video and sound dlls are used since Mok's patch and I think that's the reason.
Not with processors, but with 64 bit OS's.Rune_Caster wrote:So yeah older Might and Magic games have problems with 64 bit processors...
