Did you try redownloading, reinstalling, or skipping the integrity check? For some reason the integrity check kept corrupting some of my games' files.

Have you installed the latest version of DirectX 9 ?

Are you running 2 monitors ?

smittan: DirectDraw Error (16385)

DDERR_UNSUPPORTED

File 'C:\Dev\Heroes 3 Exp\Game\WINGRAPH.CPP'
Line: 164
--------------------
It's a pretty typical error message for outdated videodrivers. Try updating them.

I can confirm that GOG HOMM3 works perfectly in Win7.

Found the solution... 3 years of trying, and after just writing in this forum gave me some new ideas...

I had to manually set my screen to 800x600 before running the game. So simple... dough!

Thx for all replies!

Sounds a little peculiar but ok :) glad it works and I hope you enjoy it (again.)

Good to hear it's working now. Beside this you can give Homm3 HD a try. It's a little program which fixes graphic problems and gives you more advanced graphic settings, especially for newer systems.
