NTCompatible The game will not run on any Windows past XP. On XP, go to the shortcut menu and after "C:/.../war3.exe" type -wincurs. The issue is the mouse. See ntcompatible.com for further explanation. |

warlords on windows xp Had this game before, gave it to someone else who lost it. Finally got a brand-new game, installed it, but when it comes muy turn to move the units, my mouse freezes and the sound effects continue (Example: I move my hero to a ruin. It stops there, investigates the ruin, then the mouse disappears and the hero's footsteps continue. It ran fine before on the same PC and OS (windows XP). Help! |

Maybe it tells the software to use the windows mouse cursor, or to let windows load the cursor. It seems that the issue is sound... but not sure as I haven't tried it myself. |

so far the only thing I've read that works is installing the additional Hard Drive with Windows 2000. I've found something else where people have recommended adding /wincursor; -wincursor; and some other forms to the end of the target line of a desktop shortcut. I havent had any luck with this method yet, but what does adding "wincursor" to the end of the target line accomplish? Heres where I found it: GameFAQs |

| Eagle of Fire | Did you try to play with the compatibility settings? This would probably be your best bet, set the game to be run in Windows 95 or 98 environment. | |
