So I have the GOG version of Mafia 1 running successfully on Windows 10, but it will not start on Windows 7. On the latter after the galaxy opening screen, I get a black window (DOS box?) which never resolves into the game itself. At the top of this black window is Zzzzzz. On my toolbar it says init error.
On Windows 10 the black window transforms into the opening screen of the game, which starts normally I followed all ofthe tech support instructions, white listing in Norton security, installing directx 9.various compatibility modes,…everything except installing a new video driver, because previous GOG advice to do so caused my Windows 10 to crash, requiring a visit to a technician. It turned out the driver was not the problem on my windows 10 machines, and I'm naturally reluctant to crash my Windows 7 machine.
I'm wondering if any forum members have experienced similar difficulties, and figured out a solution.s
Thanks! But
