Ok, so several years ago I bought Might and Magic VI, Special Edition, which included Might and Magic I-V. I'd had it installed on my old computer (which ran Windows 98).

I recently bought a new computer, running Vista. I installed Might and Magic VI, Special Edition, and Might and Magic VI works fine. However, I also installed I-V, and NONE of them are working. I tell it to run the program, and it acts like it's going to but then it doesn't. No error message or anything - the game just doesn't open.

Can anyone help me figure out why they aren't working and if there's a way to get them to work? Is anyone else able to play the old M&M games on a computer running Vista? I'd appreciate any advice anyone has.

I have Windows Vista 64-Bit edition. You will need to download some programs to allow your new OS to run old 16-bit (or less) programs.
I recommended downloading DOSBox 0.72 (or newer) and DOSShell.
