I think this game used to work a bit ago on my windows 7/64bit. At least it did, or there was some rare to find fix I had to employ to get it to work, but it worked. Now I have a new computer and it does not work anymore. I do not have ati or AMD, I have an intel i7 Haswell, and an evga 770GTX video card. I can't seem to find any fix for this, it just doesn't work. No intro, intro sounds, nothing, just the screen flashing as it tries to set color modes, and then crashes.

Sherman says:
Renderer::CreateBuffers() failed during ClearBuffers() : Blt() in file C:\Develop\Common\Renderer\renderer.cpp at line 1330
Error = "An exception was encountered while performing the requested operation."

I have tried multiple settings of compatibility, 640x480 resolution, 256 color mode, etc. Doesn't seem to work. Rogue spear does not work as well, and that one doesn't seem to be famous for having issues in 7/64. I have tried different renderer settings with rogue spear and that doesn't help either so I'm not sure what it is, but something with this engine seems to not be working anymore with the 7/64 setup I have.

Being that you've already tried different compatability modes, I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure there's GOT to be someone out there in SOME forum who knows what to do. Finding the solution is the time-filled issue, though.

Being that you have a new computer, I HIGHLY recommend using your old hard drive as an "old school hard drive". I would install Windows XP 32 bit on it and use it for all of your old games like this one. They run much better, more reliably, and you'll always know there won't be some glitch when opening them. Also, you can set up your "old school hard drive" to be the second option when booting your computer that way it's easy access to it.
