How to play MM8 on modern computers.

Please help me get the game running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Here's a description of the problem: when I launch the game, it goes through the initial splash screen, then the 3DO logo appears, and after that, nothing happens. When I open the Task Manager, it shows that the game is not responding and displays a "Direct Draw Error" message with the following content: DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS in file: F:\MM8src\MM8\Code\Screen16.cpp at line number: 2880. This is a bit strange because the game is installed in the D:\Games\M&M VIII folder, but the error message points to the F:\ drive, even though I have a virtual drive assigned to F:\. I've tried running the game's .exe file in compatibility mode with all the Windows versions offered, but it still doesn't work. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the game, but I don't think that will help. If anyone knows what to do, please let me know, because right now, I feel like this :smile33:.
