Hi Minnow,
 
I have tried to download the file, however when I open your page, it comes up as a load of code, which i can't do anything with.
 
I would really appreciate it if you could e-mail it to me: Bkellyad@aol.com
 
Thanks a lot, Cerb

I tried downloading the file you made, but with no success (mm7setup.sdb).
 
I also tried changing the compatability modes with no success. I have XP Pro with DX9 and have had no success running the game.
 
If anyome has the mm7setup.sdb file, please email it to me @ s106565@students.ntu.edu.au or crazyme51@yahoo.com

To those who can't find the file:
 
Right click and "Save As" on the link given on one of the posts. Then, choose All Files as the file type and add the .sdb extension to the file name. Once you have done this, you can install the patch.
 
However, it still didn't help me, I still can't run the game.

Hi all,
 
ok, ive read all the messages in the forum and I still cannot get MM7 to work. Im using windows XP and when I try and run MM7 i get a direct draw error and then the screen freezes. I get jumbled letters when trying to DL the minnow patch. I have installed DirectX 9 and microsoft application toolbar 3.0 but nothing changed. The option to disable the 3d sound is greyed out and will not let me select the option. I have tried to uninstall and then reinstall the game but it didnt help. Can someone please give me some guidance.
 
Thanks,
D

I installed the .sdb patch and ran mm7.exe and this is what I got:
 
AppName: mm7.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.1 ModName: mm7.exe
ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 000d5af6
 
Any ideas how to fix this?
 
Im in fullscreen, software 3D, disabled 3D audio.

I don't know if I'm having the same problem. I have this problem that I can see the intro movie but once it hits the 'main screen' the game locks up and I can't see any of the choices. I've played this game before, but now I can't! Mrr.
 
It's the same for MM6 and 7.

Hey guys,
I was having the same problem along with the smacker error and all sorts of other direct 3d initiation problems even when using software mode and 3d sound disabled. I could enter the game start creating my party but then the smacker thing happened. The thing that worked for me is setting the windows colors to 16 bit instead of 32. Viola all is solved. I also did downlaod the microsoft compatibility toolkit 3.0 but dun think i really needed that. gl.
