Posts from heroes of might and magic 3

I downloaded the game Heroes of Might and Magic III, burned it to a disc, and tried to run it, but I'm getting the following error:
16-bit subsystem Windows
c:\program~1\symantec\s32evnt1.dll Failure to initialize the installable driver
virtual device. To terminate the application, press the Close button.

What should I do?

buy a licensed copy and avoid any hassle.

Download the disk image from here; it's usually in .iso or .mds format. Then, mount it using a program like Alcohol 120%, and you should be able to install and play the game normally!
It seems like you're doing something wrong. What do you mean by "downloaded the game"? Did you download the disk image, or an already installed game in an archive? And why are you burning it to a disk? Maybe you burned it incorrectly... but you don't even need to burn it to a CD!
