| | I cannot play heroes 5 on my laptop. My laptop is a Vostro 1400 one and I'm sure that its hardware is pretty okay to play heroes 5. In fact, I was successful to install the game Heroes of Might and magic 5. However, anytime I launch this game, there is an error telling me that " a problem caused this program to stop working probably" and the system suggests me to find for a solution. What can I do to get this game worked probably ?? |

Try right clicking on icon, bring up properties, switch compatibility tab to use WinXP mode. Check with the game publishers support website and see if there are troubleshooting suggestions for Vista or updates. |
