eckert.19inf: I paid for, and downloaded the game, but My only available option when i run is a hosted round ran by someone else.... it says to insert the HOMM3 disc to play the full version, but i do not have it because i downloaded..... help please? thank you!
This is not my answer but from another thread here. Apparently this issue happens usually because of a PREVIOUSLY installed copy that needed the CD. There is a Fix though and it is below, you apparently need to remove the old install entries.
* Apparently this error can also occur because it's not being run as admin on newer windows.
http://www.gog.com/forum/heroes_of_might_and_magic_series/homandm3_cd_required_problem/post2mgol: If you run regedit you can check under hkey_local_machine/software and hkey_current_user/software for any 3do or new world computing folders, these should contain any heroes 3 registry settings left over. Make sure you completely uninstall the gog version of heroes 3 before checking for heroes registry settings and removing them. They should normally be under a gog folder but it's better safe then sorry.
THIS HAS NOTHING TODO WITH NO SOUND.
