i am trying to play warlords 3 reign of heroes. and i am running windows 2000. the game will freeze anywhere from 1s till 2 minutes in. it freezes everytime. i think there might be a compatibility issue. i have downloaded the compatability tab that lets me change to a different compatibility layer. i have tried both 95, and 98. i have also tried reinstalling. is there any way i could get the game to work.
this website suggests the following:
Download the most recent patch, then they need to change the shortcut to:
"x (Driver Letter):\Program Files\Red Orb Entertaiment\Warlords3\war3"
-wincurs This will change the cursor so that the game will work.
but i dont understand exactly what i should do. actually try typing that line in as the name of the shortcut, or what.
please help me.
maybe it would work under xp.
and i apologize if this is the wrong forum, but nobody replies in the 2000 one.

To enable this, make a regular shortcut to the .exe file. In this case, war3.
Then right click on the shortcut and goto properties.
In the target text box paste this:
"C:\Program Files\Red Orb Entertaiment\Warlords3\war3 -wincurs"
with quotes
assuming C: is where it is installed.
This is the only answer I have for you though. I've nvr played the game.
Sorry man

The shortcut?
a box pops up that says "The name "C:\Program Files\Red Orb Entertaiment\Warlords3\war3 -wincurs" specified in the target box is not valid. pleas make sure the path and filename are correct.
weird

Are you sure thats this is where you installed the game to?

yes i am sure. what is wincurs i did a search on google. and ntcompatible is the only web page out of 3 billion to have that word in it.
well, that worked in that i could open the game and play for awhile, but sadly after a minute it still froze. it didnt have a windows cursor either.
how could i get it to work? maybe run it in dos?
i dont know if win2k has a dos prompt tho. please help me. i am in the middle of an email game, and i cant make a move.

cmon, you guys have to know how to fix this, or at least say it cant be done. please help me out. i really need to know if i can fix this ****.
I had that problem with babyz in windows xp professional editoin. I used my other hard drive I had installed, put windows ME on it, booted, hit delete, went into bios and disabled primary/xp, enabled secondary hard drive/me. pressed f10 to save and exit. It works great there, as does my printer (which is not support by xp) and other non xp compliant games! Everything that isn't xp/nt compliant works there that is Me compliant! Additional hard drive and older version of windows is all that's needed besides a bootdisk to get to dos prompt to install on second hard drive. If you want to try this method, email me and I'll attempt to give you more detailed instructions/support but keep in mind I'm not responsible for your machine but I'll try to help you get where I am. I'll do my best. Dual boot is another option (which I don't recommend due to possible conflicts). Not sure if you have to disable primary hard drive in bios to boot with second without complications. I'll try that someday when I'm a bit bolder and ready to take on possible new challenges with my machine. For now, I disable. Takes less than 2 minutes to switch between hard drives when I am in the mood for xp or me.
wishing you the best.
PS. There is another post I've posted on this subject at http://www.delphi.com under babyz and windows xp. ( it is in more detail)
