i see thats dissapointing, do you know if they intend to update it to work flawlessly with 7?

That is a solution? I am using 64-bit Windows 7 and it didn't help me with Disciples Gold crashing.

I have Windows 7 64-bit on a Core 2 Duo with Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M, and I've been running Disciples Gold without problems.

I installed using the "Run as Administrator" option, and I also start the game using the "Run as Administrator" and "Disable Visual Themes" options selected under the Compatibility tab on the Shortcut available in the Start Menu.

After about 14 hours of play (the first 3 scenarios of Empire campaign), the game has not crashed once, and I have no weird color issues.

I'll update my post if the game starts giving me the middle finger, but so far so good.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I've been playing the Disciples demo without issue. (I have D2 and D3) I recommend making a "C:\Games" directory and installing all games in there. I have issues with some games installed in \\Program Files(x86) because of the read only attributes of Win7. Moving legacy games into a different folder solves most issues with saving games or options changes.

I use Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and had no problem whatsoever running the game itself, exept that you better choose at the compability mode to run this game in Win98 mode and at 640x480 resolution, and checked DirectDraw at the config file. If you don't you'll get a very tiny game screen. my only problem is that I have to rearrange my desktop Icons after every start because I got way too much of them for this tiny resolution
