I run HoMM 1 under Win 7. Game plays normal only once, just after installation. Quitting and restarting the game results into the hanging in main menu. Music is playing, cursor is working, I push buttons New Game or Load Game or Quit but nothing happens. Reinstalling the game solves the problem... just for one start, and problem repeats again. Ticking "Run as Administrator" does nothing, ticking the compatibility does nothing. Game installed in default folder that GOG installer offered - D:\Heroes Of Might And Magic.

Just tried it myself, and I encountered the same problem...or so I feared. But it turns out there is some delay before the buttons start working. So just wait half a minute or so after the main menu comes up.
Maybe increasing CPU cycles help?

This also happens to me in terms of hanging, but I found a few workarounds. If you let the title screen play without interrupting it (no Esc, Spaces, Enters) and let the title sequence finish, all is fine. If you hit the buttons too early, it seems to hang and this seems to lock out those buttons. You can usually get past it by trying a new button, like the High Scores one. When you return, the Load and New Game buttons work again.

Yeah, you're right. Just let the heroes' solemn procession go out of the gates...:) and all is fine. Well, it's a short and very fun movie. I'm ready to watch it every time to play this immortal masterpiece. Let it be written, let it be done.

Thank you all for the tips.

I've been (re)playing HoMM1 these last couple of days, and I noticed something weird. After starting on the 5th or 6th map of the campaign (playing as Warlock this time) when starting the game it starts ultra fast and the main menu is displayed in a fraction of a second, like it's a movie being fast forwarded.

Damned, the victory screen is also in fast motion. :-(
