Bones should be able to give you more help than I can, but you might check the following:

    1. In Win Explorer, go to the main .exe file, right-click on it, and check in the "Properties" option to find out which version of the game you've got. It needs to be v1.2, and you then need to run Mok's MM6 patch to give you the best chance for the game to run. If you haven't got this, Chlala has a copy on her site. And while you're there, tell us exactly what size the mm6.exe file is.

    2. Check that you have a "Saves" subfolder, and that it's not set to Read Only or something like that.

    3. Check what files (if any) are present in the subfolder, and that they too are not set to Read Only.

    Get back to us if none of these help.

    And make sure you're running the game as administrator or Win 7 will not let you make any changes

    Run as Administrator problem. Make sure *everything* is set to RaA, including patches when you try to apply them.

    At this point might be worth a fresh uninstall & reinstall with everything running as admin from the start?

    the game seems to be working overall, but i cant get the game to update. im thinking thats the reason the patch wont work. if it took i would be able to toggle from walk to run with capslock but its not working. along with some other things id guess. idid change it so the game is running with administator privilages, and it going good with windows xp service pack 3. im running wondows 7

The game is in fact OK.

    From what you say, it actually seems to be running properly. The walk/run toggle was not implemented in MM6 — it was first introduced in MM7, IIRC.

It did.

    It fixed a number of problems, of which the most serious was the Gharik's Lab Key bug. The problem with that was that once you opened the door, the key vanished. This shouldn't have mattered, because the door was open, but unfortunately, if you left the area – to sell the goodies you'd found, say – and then went back to complete the dungeon, you would find that the door was locked again.

    That was cured by the v1.1 patch. I can't remember what else it cured, but most of what it didn't were fixed by the v1.2 patch. Unfortunately, that introduced two new bugs, which made it impossible to open (a) the vestibule door in the Shadow Guild in the Frozen Highlands, and (b) a door in Castle Kriegspire which prevented you from completing one of the local quests.

    Mok's MM6 patch cured these bugs (and probably others), and also hugely increased the compatibility of the game engine with the more modern versions of Windows.

    However, the Gharik's Lab Key bug is easy to avoid once you know about it, I still have two computers which can run using the Win98 operating system, and I still play the original v1.0 game.

    One thing that doesn't seem to have been fixed is the key to the Kings chamber in Snergles Caverns. It's there the first time around but when everything resets after 2 years you can no longer get the key to the Kings chamber. So unless you kept a beacon point in there you will never get back in there again
