MM7 will not run on virtual machine

[theorclair]

The vast majority of my older games don't run well in Windows 7, so I created a virtual machine with XP. I decided I wanted to play MM7 today and tried running it. I have the patches installed and I disabled 3d sound and acceleration. However, when I try to run the game, the 3DO sequence comes up and then the game just hangs. Is there something else I need to do?

VMWare Workstation 7 works almost fine. Though the game is grayfaced, so it could be a clue.

You can just run the game on Windows 7, it has few issues. Just make sure you run it in windowed mode.

I can't run it on windows 7 at all on my desktop (it works fine on my laptop). I can't even install it.

edit: Got GOG version to work on vmachine!
