It can be done, but it's not a certainty.

    Experiences differ - try searching in the MM6 and MM7 Taverns for "Windows 7" and "Win7" over the past 600 days. vmxa had no problems with MM6, but others have had teething problems at least. It looks as though your best chance is as follows:

    (1) you need to patch the game fully up to v1.2 if your game is an earlier version,

    (2)then apply Mok's patch, and

    (3)run the game under Win98 or Win2000 compatibility

    Depending on your machine, you might also need to install a FAT32 partition and run the game in that, although the guy who knows most about this is Bones. There may also be some driver issues, but I don't know anything more about those - again, Bones is your man.

    There's little if anything in the MM8 Tavern about running that game on Win7.

That's strange.

    I know I put spaces after the brackets holding the numbers in the post above, but two of them didn't register. Most peculiar!

MM6&7 on Win7

    I have both of these games running under Windows 7. However, I didn't 'install' them from 'scratch, I simply copied them from my WinXP hard drive and 'pasted' the folders into the Program Files (x86) folder of Win7. I then had to configure the game to Run as Administrator (otherwise I could not SAVE).

    Works fine for me!

From XP to Win7

    I might add that the MM6 and MM7 programs I took from WinXP had already been 'configured' by the Grayface patches to run with no CD.

    FYI ...

MM6-8 on Win 7

    I got them to run with no problem (I have the Millenium edition for 6 and 7). Those 2 run under Win 98 compatibility, MM 8 I got to run under Win XP compatibility. And running as administrator or you can't save. M&M 9 I'm still having some issues with though.
