Sorpigal writes: I know this is not about the first games but i have nowhere else to go, please understand, thanx Also, this is from an old post of mine, but I still have not solved this problem please understand, thank you I recently bought them ORIGINAL, yep finally found them, they are on those old 5 1/4 floppy disks. Now that is not a problem cause I have the drive, then I install the game and it says the following line: There is no authorized copy of might and magic in drive A: Please insert disk and press any key I don't understand this, I am 200% sure that they are original games not copy's, both disks have labels and I have the entire game complete. Anyone know what the problem is those are the Only 2 games from the might and magic universe I have to finish please assist thanx
