I think HOMM2 is a full-screen dos game. If so, you will need to download
DOSBox and run the game from inside of it.
If you have troubles getting it working just post your questions.

Hope that helps!
Mark

Yeah, old DOS games, not really easy to get going, but as someone just said,
look for a program called DOSBox, it emulates an older DOS computer and lets
you run old games (albiet poorly). Might let you get the game going.

Good luck,
Andy

..NET Framework are a bunch of system files needed to run some programs
developed with Visual Studio. For future reference, you are probably running
Vista 32-bit version, so the files you want (if you have a choice between
x86 and x64) is x86 files, the X stands for 386, or 486 which was the call
numbers assigned to the old, but popular Intel chips upon which all current
home PCs are based. x64 was invented to indicate that you were using a
64-bit processor. Slightly different, but i digress.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38&disp...

The link above should take you to the Microsoft .NET Framwork 1.1 Service
Pack 1 download page. It's a 10 meg download, run that then try to play
around with DOSBox.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa5...

Link above is the page before the first link, if it doesn't work there's a
link to .NET Framework 1.1 under Popular Downloads.

If you can't find the file, try google, but only download it from
microsoft.com.

Oh crap, and you CAN have a 64-bit processor, but still run a 32-bit
operating system. Most people are running 32-bit, so even if you have a
64-bit processor you are more than likely still going to want the 32-bit
(x86) version.

At this point phil I would say something like RTM (Read the manual) for
dosbox, basically DOSBox isn't setup by default for CD-ROM access, but you
can tell DOSBox to mount your CDROM drive as a drive letter in DOSBOX.

If you want me to hand hold you through the entire process, I can. I just
have to look up the answers, I don't have them written down right now.

Basically if you setup DOSBOX to mount your CD-ROM drive, then you can just
follow the installation instructions from the manual for the game.

It's gonna be tough, your game is ancient and you're trying to run it on a
new system.

I went to google and typed in "how-to dosbox" and this is what it spit
out...
http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.p... - simple guide, might
help.
http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=index... - more comprehensive
guide, takes you through installing flashback (great game), might be able to
figure out how to get heros going with this
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=... - The DOSBox
WIKI. Should be able to find answers to any questions you have here.

If you still want me to tell you how to get your game working, I can look up
your game and spell it out for you, but I think if you study these links a
little you should be able to get the game going and have a better
understanding of how dosbox works.

DOSBox is a self contained application, when you do things to DOSBox you're
not changing ANYTHING else on your system. It's not like DOSBox is taking
over things on your computer. For all Windows knows it's just another
program running stuff.

As long as you don't delete your C:\Windows folder you'll probably be OK. If
you're really worried about it... read before you do. Make a system Restore
point before you start, just in case. Same pre-cautions you should take when
you install any program onto your computer.
