Sonic the Hedgehog CD PC version Windows 7 error. After installing the original gold colored Sonic the Hedgehog CD, and the patch for the program, Sonic CD loads the intro screen, then freezing, and a box pops up saying "MCI driver error". I have looked on the internet, and even called Microsoft, but have had no success in finding the Windows 7 MCI driver to play this game.

oi - u gotta get, latest patches, then latest no-cd crack. the no cd keys, for appropriate versions, are on many sites - its legal if you like me bought the bloody game cos u dig warhammer and its a piece of poo.

fact is NAMCOM gave up support for this title for a long while ago.

so install, patch, then no cd patch, only trouble i've had with windows 7 has been graphics related since.

DreamCatcher no longer lists this game at their site: http://www.dreamcatchergames.com/dci/pc.php . So there are no patches available in the support site.

Curse: The Eye of Isis was issued for XP and older versions of Windows. The installers and drivers are totally different with Windows 7. What version of Windows 7 Home Premium do you have? If you have the 32-bit version, the compatibility mode might work. (It is less likely to work with 64-bit Windows 7. However, there are no guarantees for either version.)

To try using the compatibility mode: right click on the installer. Then choose Properties and then the Compatibility tab. Turn on Run program as Compatible with the appropriate OS. Then right click again on the installer and choose Run as Administrator. Make sure the program is running in the compatibility mode if it does install by doing the right click and Properties step again.

A method that will work but will cost more money is to use a computer (virtual, dual-boot, or true second machine) with an older version of Windows installed. If you buy an upgrade to Win7 Pro or Ultimate, you can create a virtual XP computer for free. Download and install Virtual PC and XP mode from Microsoft. Install them in order. Then install the software from your CD in the virtual computer and it will work. (Other virtual computer programs are Parallels and VMWare.) All of the other options will require a licensed version of the older Windows OS.

I hope this helps.

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(make your program/application run with windows 7)

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

Windows 7 has a compatibility wizard that you can use to help install it. Go to start, control panel, and then type in troubleshooter in the search box. Under programs, click "run programs for other versions of windows." Follow those instructions. If you need to browse to the setup file on the disc, do so. If that does not work, you can go to Broderbund's web site. They have a compatibility update for Gold 17 on their website. Unfortunately it is for Vista, but it still might help you with the compatibility issue

Try uninstalling Roxio and the Sonic drives and run Fixit. Then reboot and install Roxio first then the Sonic driver.
If this doesn't work uninstall again as previously, install Roxio and check the CD/DVD if necessary run Fixit then install Sonic driver.

Which "sonic" are you refering to?
