    Trouble with the main menu for HoMM 3 Complete edition

    Hi, I just bought and downloaded Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete edition. After running the game, after the Intro was played halfway through, the intro started lagging and was making weird sound. I waited for the intro to finish and the main menu appeared, I received a message saying that "Shadow of Death" CD is missing and when I clicked on "New Game" to start a game, there was only a "Multiplayer" tab that appeared. There was no Single Player or Campaign or Tutorial as I've seen anywhere else on Youtube. Please let me know how to solve this issue
    Thank you

    Hey there, thanks for getting in touch! I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue.

    If you receive the "Shadow of Death CD-Rom not found" or similar message after you start the game, please make sure that you have uninstalled any previous versions (like a demo, or the retail version). You should also launching the game by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator" (Windows Vista, 7 and 8 only).

    If you still receive this message open the Run menu by pressing WindowsKey+R and type:

    regedit

    and press Enter.

    Here, look for "New World Computing", there should be an entry for Heroes of Might and Magic III and a sub-entry named "1.0". Look for "CDDrive" and modify its value to:

    C:

    This should make the game start without the no-CD message.

    These entries should be located here:

    32-bit Windows:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > New World Computing

    64-bit windows:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > New World Computing​

    Hope this helps! Please let us know if the issue persists.
