Heroes II installation problem on XP

Unread postby NurDas » 11 Jan 2007, 14:12

Hello! I ran to a problem with HoMM II The Succession Wars while trying to install it on Windows XP. Before any installation started, I got an pop-up saying:

"Setup detected the following problems while reviewing your system configuration: Large Fonts."

The Help pop-up says to change the font size to small in control panel > display, but I haven't got an option 'small' there, only 'normal', 'large' and 'extra large'. Currently 'normal' is selected.
It doen't look like a difficult problem to solve, but it prevents the installation completely. I'm not a big friend with computers ;|, so can any of you help me with this?

Well, I was panicing too early. :hoo: Apparently the problem was with the .Now technology intsaller that comes with the 3DO/NWC SoldOut series. I found out that I can install the game without using .Now, but the regular install shield instead and that worked fine. So apologies for the double posting.
