wow, thanks
if i run as admin, it works "normally", and it will be widescreen
can you explain the registry edit in much more detail?
Have a look at the image - the relevant option is highlighted ("Use D3D")
Basically if you open the registry (WIN+R => regedit) and navigate the menus until you find a "search" item;
look for "might and magic" and you should find a couple of "directories" that are called "might&magic 8"
One is shown in the screenshot, under HKEY_USERS\ blah blah blah \ virtualstore is the one you get when you run normally;
the other is similar but under HKLM\software\wow6432node\... (without the virtualstore etc part) is the one you get when you run as admin (incl when you run mm8setup)
basically mm8setup simply creates a key under HKLM etc, so you just have to do the same thing by hand except it's under HKEY_USERS\...
right click like you would right click in a directory to create a file, choose create new, type is DWORD, name is "Use D3D" (without the quotes), value is one.
One could probably write a powershell script to automate it, but I don't use windows often enough to care, sorry
edit: wtf happened to the image?
