    Hi Norwegian. You can use the find button at the top of the forum to search for more help...but I have pasted some recent stuff other forum members have posted. ('Tis me....Lady C....have a different name here. )

    Try some of this solutions -
    1. Go to the Configuration Utility, and disable hardware sound and graphics. Make them software sound and graphics.

    2. Run it in compatibility mode for Windows 98. (I know its an xp xomp but this works) Also try compatibility mode for Windows NT Service Pack 5.0

    3. Try installing the latest version of DirectX. (DirectX 9.0b I think)

    4. Run it in windowed mode.

    Maybe some of the more technical people on this tavern can offer better solutions if these don't work.

    Good luck.

    to disable MM7 hardware audio, goto the MM7 configuration utility and it should let u disable hardware audio. XP and MM7/8 hardware audio are not compatable.

    U have to turn off hardware audio for the game to work!


    sometimes a XP user acct gets messed up, so creating a new user actg sometimes help. To create a new user actg, goto control panel and select user acct and follow the directions. Then delete and relinstall the game.
    Do not worry if MM7 install doesn't recognize Dx9, ignore the warning and continue installing.
    maybe try installing the game a little differently. Browse the CD for the install/setup file, select properties, select compatability, then install the game.
