    When I alt-tab to find some potions list or whatever, I tab back to a rather messed up ui. It seems to have been halved in size vertically, but not horizontally and the colours are all messed up Any clues/patches/fixes? Running Win8

    So much has changed since these games came out. Mok's patch might help. He included the most up-to-date video routines in his patch.

    You might also try running the game in a window. This will work best if you can do that on a second monitor so you can run it in the appropriate screen resolution.

    Please let us know what works. Thanks!

Well, I never got an option to chose between windowed or full screen while installing...

    ... and I can't seem to find the original Mok's Patch anywhere - only Greyface's which requires the actual discs, which I've lost/mauled over the years :/ Oh well, will have to do without tabbing I guess

    ... on her personal web space at the link below.

    I can't be certain of the functionality of your version, of course, but I think there was an option to configure the game at startup. Also, I think there was an EXE in the base folder that would let one change the configuration.

    I only ever got as far last night as to look at the setup-screen... Now, though, when I try to play the game, it prompts me to insert my play-disc, even thought the version of the program I have ought to be 'all-inclusive'...Damn, might have to reinstall it and just go without edits and tabbing then

    I have the same problem in Win8. I havnt found a solution, but a workaround (requires some technical knowledge)

    You can download the VMWare workstation for free and run a virtual PC on your computer, you can then run that VM in window mode and MM7 within it. I have tried it on my laptop and it works.
