Yes,XP SP1...
I've tried to play WoG 3.58f and Heroes III Complete on large maps
in the multiplayer - to no avail(the game keeps freezing).
When I play in a single player mode,everything is ok.
Also I've cleaned up my hard drives(now I have about 5Gb of free space on a drive with Heroes folder).

I'm running out of ideas.
Have you tried with any other games online. Some that do transfer a lot of stuff fast, for example, FPS?
Besides of lagging do they freeze completely like HoMM III does?

I think I figured out what my problem is.
The problem is that when I play Heroes III via TCP/IP the heroes.exe
file starts taking 99% of my CPU and my motherboard just overheats
(measured it's temperature with an Everest program and it rose to 90 degrees).Tested different versions of Heroes III and WoG - the result is the same.Is it normal for Heroes to take 99% of CPU
during online play and if not how do I prevent it?
P.S. In single player mode Heroes.exe takes only 1% of CPU and the
motherboard temperature doesn't exceed a 40 degrees limit.

Over 90 celsius? on motherboard? Are you sure that wasn't CPU?
Even over 50 degrees is harmful to your motherboard. If that's motherboard temperature that is surely a problem. You should do something about your case fan. It's mostlikely broken.
For the cause of the load I think it's your firewall or anti-virus program. Had similar load cause myself a while a go. Got it away by turning of some active components, which were interfering with the program, from my anti-virus program.

According to Everest motherboard temperature was 90 degrees and
CPU temperature was somewhere around 50.
Concerning your advice to turn off some antivirus components.I reinstalled Windows XP and right after installing the motherboard and
video card drivers I ran Heroes III Complete(with no Firewall and AntiVirus installed).To no avail.
I've no clue to what could be interfering with the game.
May be you have.
And,btw,Joonas,thanks for your help

This problem occurs (for example) if your Exe file is not original, means u got a copied / pirated version of the game. In that case, the patch works fine on all files BUT the exe file.

i need a clue
hey..
homm 4 crashes w/the following error: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, then something about an unusual termination.
i am running the following:
Operating System Windows XP Pro v5.1.2600
DirectX Version DirectX 9.0
Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
Driver Version 6.14.10.9147
CPU Model/Name Intel Pentium 4 Processor with MMX(TM) Technology
CPU Speed 1.5GHz
Total Physical Memory 512MB
% Memory Used 67%
Resolution 1024 x 768
Color Depth 32-Bit
Max Swap File Size 1.22GB
Available Swap File 874.48MB
TCP/IP Protocol Installed
3DO Title Heroes of Might and Magic IV-all, including all patches
language 809 (eu)
also h4mod equilibrius, ver 3.5
the game runs great for awhile then crashes. i believe i read someplace (although i don't remember where) that this had something to do with editing maps. and the exe file. i also had this problem in homm3, but it didn't start happening again in homm4 until i starting changing my maps. this is bad because i can no longer do anything, just play for awhile. no particular incident seems to trigger it. i have only been playing homemade maps, so i don't know if it happens in premade ones. i thought my troubles were over when i got homm4. no such luck. l will try to reload, but please tell me what to remove from registry, i feel okay doing this.
later...

Try to get Heroes Complete, which has RoE, AB and SoD included in ONE version, 4.0. Easy and cheap to get on ebay or amazon.

Here is the file for SoD/Complete.
Here is the file for RoE.
It is called "cranim.txt" (creature animation) and is placed in your DATA folder. Animations for all creatures is speeded up, so battles take lesser time.

When I attempt to iniciate any multiplayer game in Homm3 Complete I always get this message, with which game crash. Anyone met with that before?
It's probably having something to do with DirectX9.0c and Ati rage driver on w2k, but it's escaping me how to repair it. Dxdiag is reporting missing registry entries mostly about InprocServer32 and DirectPlay, reinstalling DirectX had no effect.
