Exclamation Dark messiah might and magic wont work....
I dont know what the problem is when I try to play MM first the screen turns black for several minutes (thats because of the loading witch btw is extreamly slow, I'v played it on a nother PC a year or two ago and that PC was much slower then mine with {I think it was on Windows XP} im useing windows 7 if that might be the problem)... as i was saying once it loads the picture is "shreded" it clears out after i do alt+tab and when i am playing and enter a nother chapter the loading is very slow and once it nears the end the screen turns black and the game gets stuck. If I alt+tab when the screen is black it shows an error (Engine Error of some sorts it said it has to do something with the memory but I didn't realy see it...) well I hope u can help me with this its very annoying...)

What happens if you ran it in XP compatibility mode?

First make sure that you use the latest directx & video divers and that your game is patched up to the newest version.

EDIT:
Also try this fix

i dont believe this has anything to do with the video drivers... the game doesnt even start i just try to start and after a sec. or two is shows that it has stoped working and asks me do i wish to close, debug or look for a solution online ... i will upgrade my drivers doh but i dont believe it will do anything if i cant get the game started

I don't think what you are saying holds true. I couldn't get Oblivion to start until I updated my video drivers.

By the looks of it many people are having problems with DMoM not just on windows 7 but also on Vista, so I guess its the developer's fault for releasing it with so many bugs.
