Hi, I love HOMM, been playing since grade school when I first got HOMM2 and now I'm in college feeling pumped since I just bought HOMM5 today.

But I have a problem that many seem to have. I installed succesfully, and tried loading a game, and during the loading screen process it just reverts me back to the desktop.

This is really frustrating. I would love to post you all whatever information you need to help me but I have no clue how to do that. Sadly my computer expertise consists only of instant messaging and playing games.. don't know any of the technical stuff or even what kind of hardware I have, besides the obvious, that its a pretty new Gateway.

and tell us your hardware info from there, better yet provide a screenshot.
