Okay so I got my new computer (Dell Laptop), and I'm trying to go back over some old games and "finish" them. Problem is that for some reason "Might & Magic 7" will not run. It installed fine, but when I try to run it an error message comes up "not enough free space on hard drive"... says it needs 30mb... but my drive has over 80gb free... so what could be causing this?

Help..?

Could be a number of things.
Is the drive partitioned you installed on a smaller drive?
The computer may be configured (is it yours or company's?) in such a way that allows the user only a certain amount of space.
Or it could be a RAM/page file problem

Of course I'm grasping at straws here :D

It may be a problem with the way the program is trying to access the available drive space. If it's making the request to the OS and the game was not desgined for that OS the results could be formatted a little differently than the older software was expecting and result in the error you saw.

I would try running the game in compatibility mode and if that works.

Details..

it's my own computer - not a company one. the drive is not partitioned (as far as I know)... when I check the available space it says over 80gb is free... however the game tells me that it needs 30mb and it says I only have 22mb or so available.... I've tried the "compatibility" mode to no avail... just keeps giving me the same message or just not loading at all...

Any other ideas?
