    ... ive played this game before. and it was SO much fun, i bought it again. i installed 6 7 and 8, 6 plays just fine, 7 and 8 will only start to run and just before the 3DO screen it says a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. however. it never has notified me. im not computer savvy so i wouldnt even be able to tell you what windows i am running in. SORRY. but anything to get thsi working would be AWESOME!

    There's a program called 'dzdiag' that I'd like you to run. It's usualy easiest to get to by clicking Start -> Run, typing in 'dxdiag' and hitting Enter. (It can also be found in your \Windows\System32 folder.)

    DxDiag will let you view lots of info, but let's start with what appears on the first tab. Please tell us what it lists as your Operating System and your DirectX Version.

    And welcome to our Tavern, Beka!

That's pretty common.

    One of the standard pieces of advice in the days before Mok's patches was to disable the hardware-accelerated 3D and use the software one instead.

    A fan of the M&M series called Grayface has created an unofficial patches for MM6 and MM7 (using another unofficial patch by Mok as the basis). It solves some issues and adds a bunch of features. I don't know whether it will solve your problem but I believe it's worth a shot.

    I will include in the message a link to the MM7 patch. You will find MM6 patch from that same forum, if you should ever experience some problems with MM6 as well. As for MM8, I don't know.
