Hello, sweet gentleness and possibly ladies.
I was lightened up by today's news about appearance of beloved Settlers III. I bought it and after 5 hours of downloading *.exe with my extremely poor Harlem's internet speed, I have thrown this file into my Virtual Windows XP Pro SP3 running under VMware Fusion 5.0.1 (I'm using last marvelous ML as a host system).
Basically, it doesn't work.
1) If I start it just as it is, nothing happens, except little yellow (?) icon in trey; and process "single.exe" eating 99% of CPU. // picture #1
2) Launching file "S3.exe" freezes everything, including explorer. // pic. #2
3) Playing with compatibility mode gives an error. // pic. #3
P.S. I've played with different parameters of both VM and setup.exe, but it did not help.
Please, help me to jump into nostalgia, I'm dying to play third Settlers! :)
