DDraw->SetDisplayMode() failed...whats wrong?

Yesterday its run...today crash?

any help ?

Same here. MM6, 7, and 8.

I've tried these on three windows installs on different computers ... all were running at one time, now they cannot seem to allow the game to open in full screen (minimizes the game and drops back to the GOG Galaxy screen; selecting the minimized window has it flash up for a moment, then minimize again).

Fell back to a Windows 7 install where everything still functions. Perhaps a recent update has crippled things?

Im getting the CPU maxing on start up again after fixing it.... maybe a windows update?
Worked fine 3 days ago.

Just bought the game and had the same problem.

Setting compatibility mode (Win 7) on the MM6.exe solved the issue.


Howto if needed:

- switch to MM6 installation folder
- right click mm6.exe
- Properties menu entry
- "Compatibility" tab
- enable "Run this program in compatibility mode"
- choose at least Windows 7 (XP needs admin rights)
