I'm having this issue. Since about last week, the game and its 2 expansions won't launch (Steam version, Windows 7 64-bit). When I launch the game, either the initial image appears, or just a black screen, and then it just hangs. Task Manager shows that the game executable is not responding. I've tried everything: reinstalling the game and all the expansions from scratch, reinstalling Steam, checking for viruses, and deleting the save folder and profile from My Documents. I also tried setting compatibility mode for the executables. Nothing helps. Previously, everything worked perfectly.

I tried installing the GOG version of HoMM V, and it works without any problems.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with the Steam version of Heroes of Might and Magic V?
