Error starting up

    I've recently bought MMIX again (had it before, but it got lost somehow), and when I installed it, I tried opening it, and it says "MMIX has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And asks me to send an error report. I've tried reinstalling, but no-go. Has anyone else had this problem before? Any ideas on how I can fix it?

    I'm pretty sure it's just my computer. I've tried turning it off and on again, and when I tried opening it with the disc tray open, it came up with the exact same error, without noticing that the disc wasn't even in. I have NO idea what's happening. It's never had this issue with a game before.

It sounds like you might have installed it in a location different than the first time....

    I haven't had this problem with MM9 before -- but then I've never tried to re-install it. Uninstalling can leave registry entries behind which, if you re-install in a different location, give the program contradictory information -- such as where to find the game disk.

    First uninstall MM9. Next fire up Regedit and search for references to 'Might and Magic IX' and 'MM9'. Note that this key might be under 'Ubisoft' and/or '3DO'. Remove these keys and entries an then try re-installing. Let us know if that works. Thanks.

    I found and removed all the relevant registries, and it still didn't work. Prior to buying it this time, I had not installed it on THIS computer. It was an older one. This hard drive was recently formatted, so it shouldn't have had any registries before the first installation anyway.

Have you tried the Win98 compatibility mode?

    This usually isn't a problem with MM9, but it's worth a try. Look at the details in your error message and find out which program is having problems -- mm9.exe or lithtech.exe. Go to your MM9 folder, right-click on that program, choose Properties, then the Compatibility tab. You might have to do it for both.

    If that doesn't help, please tell us the message that you get when you click on the Details button (minus any register values). Thanks.
