1) If you are running two processors you will encounter some problems running the game (it will randomly crap out during play). There is a fix that I found on this sites Message Board, I thought I would save time for the next person with the same problem... Here is the fix... start the game....go into the high scores menu in the game.... next hit ALT+TAB....Next hit ctrl alt del.... go into Task Manager.....Go into processes.... you should see Hereos3.exe or something from that.... right click it and select set affinity....unselect cpu
2) I saw your post about how Heroes of Might and Magic III has a problem with multiple CPU systems (WinNT 4.0 and Win2000). I wrote a small program that sets the processor affinity for Heroes III to avoid having to set the affinity manually every time you start to play the game. You can find it on my web site at http://www.execpc.com/~heitda/Games/index.htm It is definately easier to use this small program than to follow the steps 3DO recommends.
3) Game initially would crash when clicking on "Scenario Name" on the save game screen but after a reboot that problem disappeared. Other than that seems to be working GREAT!

Heroes of Might & Magic 3 - The Shadow of Death
Received the follow messages:
1) Game crashes immediately upon exe execution. Tested both before and after win2k updates. Very strange because previous HOMM3 games work fine under win2k. I'll try and test on another box.
2) Had no problems at all. Installed Fine. Ran Gameupdate to bring it to 3.1.
3) Mine installs fine and does not crash after execution. Setup program seems to have problems with W2000, it stops at 99% ... just wait a few minutes.
4) Just a thought. Noticed that Heroes of Might and Magic 3-The Shadow of Death crashes immediately upon exe execution. That sounds very similar to Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001, another game put out by the 3DO company. They seem to have now admitted that this is an issue related to the copy protection. They appear to have wrapped the disc with an older and incompatible version of safedisc. So, the problem is likely the same here. I would assume many or all 3D0 titles released in the last few weeks at least won't work for this same reason. Just thought I'd mention it.
5)turn of the music inside the game. Since my computer have crashed many times since I installed it I guessed it was creative labs sb live drivers that messed up my computer(when HOMMIII-sod trying to send two sound levels(!?) to the card it crashes under win2k and locks the computer).
4) Installed, updated and ran fine.
