SOURCE: compagny of heroes

Hello sir... The game is having some known issues with Vista. One way to overcome this error is, Install the game to a different directory other than the default.The default is "c:/programfiles/THQ/COHOF". U better create a subdirectory like "C:/programfiles/games/THQ/COHOF". If this fails, install it in another drive like D:/ or E:/.
Let me know if this helps.

HOMM4 is not compatible with the normal Vista Pro operating system. You can try to run the install in WINXP compatibility mode, and do the same with the game. I would also use the following URL to download all of the updates for HOMM4:

I recently picked up an older game, Heroes of Might and Magic IV get home and install. Install wizard runs fine except for one thing despite the fact it correctly identifies all my hardware, it tells me...

I have Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Running on Win 7. There were many patches to install before this title worked(on my computer). Have you installed all the available updates for it?

Here are 2 sites that have the compatibility options:

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html

If that does not work, you can also try to set up XP mode in Win 7: (Note: you need to have Win 7 Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate for this one) Win 7 Home Premium does not support XP Mode.

Im trying ti install heroes 4 and it say I need 128mb of memory... i have 2 gb of memory and says it fails to meet requirements...should i look for a patch? Im using windows 7. thx for ur help

Hello,

Your using Windows OS 7, which is fairly new. This is great for programs but not for games. Heroes 4 is a older game, so there are some compadablility problems.

As for your memory and HD space you should be fine since the requirements are low.

Solutions: Look for programs which allows you to run virtual OS of pervious generations of windows (such as windows xp). This should solve your problem. Otherwise if you have 2 HDD on your laptop/computer you can make one drive into a older OS. Then run the game from that HD.

Good luck, and rate my response.

I go to install the game and then it starts loading then stops

XP or VISTA?
If its Vista, that is most likely the issue.
How much free space left on the Hard Drive? It needs to be kept above 15%.
have you gotten all of the new drivers? Get the new video card drivers and the new DirectX driver from Microsoft.

Minimum Requirements

It appears the game doesn't support your memory!??
Never heard of that before...
You should check for new mainboard drivers, or maybe the memery isn't correctly inserted on the pins on your mainboard.

If that's not it, you should probably reinstall your PC. Probably a little error in some Windows library that can't be solved by rebooting...

I suppose you can play other games on that PC, right?

Good luck,

Yannick
