I wonder how long it'll be before you get questions on how to use dosbox, that thing can be annoying and I'm reasonably familiar with dos. It seems to eat up memory and processing power at a shocking rate. I played MM3 under XP a few months ago and it worked fine, though the animations were a bit fast :)

As I recall, sourceforge had and perhaps still has a forum for dosbox that offers help to those that need it.

I seem to have issues with sound for MMIX... It stutters, and it drives me insane. Music sounds, and certain attack sound work well, but other ones stutter, and repeat. Please e-mail me with a fix...

That file needs to be opened using the Compatibility Administrator Tool. Don't try to double-click on the file itself.
I'm on Steam and Xbox Live.

dmacneil, flop and Alfredo, click on the link at the top if this page that will take you to telp.org. Pick the tavern which is the MM game you want to play and look for posts by Mok about his unofficial patches. I recently finished playing 6,7 and started 8 using his patches.



They work perfectly.

Wow, Thank you So very much Ryder, Finally I can play my 2nd favorite pc game of all time MM7 again, and I dont have to search for an old fashioned labtop to do it, which is what I had boiled down to doing, if need be, but posting about Mok's unofficial patches cleared the ico all up, thank you again.

No worries mate. Nothing is worse than not been able to play Might and Magic.

I downloaded the Windows Compatibility Tool Kit, then the download for MM6 above, then tried to paste it to the MM6 directory and still got the same SHRINKER.ERR message as before. Please help.
