My all-time favorite game, M&M 6, won't run on Windows 10. I played it five times when I had Windows 98. I remember the first time, I almost failed my winter semester exams because of it. But now it's time for a new computer. I installed Windows XP and one of the first things I did was install M&M (as someone here put it, "Mommy" :)). But here's the problem - it won't run on Windows XP. And there are no drivers for my video card for Windows 98.
I'm desperately asking for help. If there's nothing else, I'll have to buy an old computer. By the way, I also tried running it in a virtual machine, but it didn't work.

It's much easier to buy the collection from "Buki". It includes parts 6 and 7. It runs on Windows XP without any problems :D

I have this collection, but it doesn't run on XP.

I have Vista, but if you configure everything correctly, it runs on it too. Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

My sixth game can't find a certain file when I set compatibility mode. :( The seventh one works. :confused: (I have the collector's edition).
Help! :smile45:

I have the Bukovskoe edition, and it seemed to work fine without any compatibility settings. Try setting compatibility to Win98 or running it without any compatibility mode. And if it still doesn't launch, let me know which file it can't find.

I have the Buka edition, and it seemed to work fine without any compatibility settings. Try either compatibility with Win98 or run it without any compatibility mode. And let me know which file it can't find if it still doesn't launch.

Without compatibility, a window pops up asking whether to send or not send a report. :mad:
I'll write the file name now.

Added after 37 minutes
(3.3) C:\PROGRA~1\Buka\MMCOLL~1\MM_VI\MSS32.DLL: Pager initialisation error 2 - The specified file could not be found.

Reinstall DirectX, it sometimes helps :) and also experiment with color settings.

My 6th game can't find a certain file when I set compatibility mode. :( The 7th one works. :confused: (I have the collector's edition).

It's not about Direct X; there should be a file available online. Just search for the file name and "Blessing of the Heavens" in the Yandex search engine, and you'll find it.
