I found this no Cd download for MM8, I don't know if it works, or really how to make it work. I'm sure one of you computer wiz's can work it out...This site has starred out a word, therefore the link doesn't work, go to the gaming bliss thread to get the other link:

Right i've fixed it so listen up. First change it to windows 95 compatibility mode. Now you need to download this no-cd crack. http://www.megagames.com/cracks/html/c32570_0.htm
Right replace the .exe file with the one in the crack. Now in the config utility of the game, put it under these settings:Full screen, Hardware accelerated, disable accelerated 3D Audio.
Make sure you don't have the cd in, and every time you wanna play the game , you have to go through the game config utility first.
*Bonus, no cd needed!!!!

For those of you using MM8 on windows ME, this worked for me:
I went to the directX(version 9) folder and went into to the Diagnostic tool. (just do a search for DxDiag and double click. I then went to the "display" settings and disabled the direct draw acceleration...this also disables the direct3d acceleration and the AGP texture acceleration. Then MM8 worked for me. When you try run other games you Must! remember to enable the settings again... This only worked on Windows ME, I tried Xp but didn't work. By all means try for Win 98 and 2000 and MM6 and MM7 it might work, but I haven't tried.

My problem with MM7 is that the setup will not run. I can't even get the game to install. I have windows XP by the way. I did try the CD on another computer that is using windows 98 and it works fine, but with my windows XP it wont even allow me to load the setup.

I have a problem...I try to install MM7 and MM8, but neither work. The setup STARTS just fine, but when either one gets to "d3d sprites", it freezes and closes. I have windows XP service pack 2, 2GB of RAM, a decent computer...anyone have any idea why it wont work?
thx in advance
