If you're getting a bluescreen that means that you have a problem with your hardware , not your software.

Well, the software didnt recognize my ram, its like "this game requires 128mb of ram, you have 6gb - fail" lol and it listed compatible win versions and vista wasnt in its list of versions. Its not my hardware, i just got done running crysis maxed :p

Well , i've got Heroes IV and it works on my vista machine . Have you tried setting the compatability options and running as adminstrator?

Would clicking the xp service pack 2 option work do you think? Id try it now but cant atm...but im just curious.

Or is there something similar to that of dosbox, that runs perhaps window games like Heroes.

Whats interesting is that i installed Icewind Dale on my system no problems and it fired right up, i just assumed this would too but then again i cant remember when Heroes IV was actually out, its been awhile.

I had them installed a few months ago (III+expansions, IV+expansions and V+expansions but this one isn't important since it's new) and they all worked great, I didn't even use compatibility mode for them, I don't really know what could be the problem :(.
