I got "Cossacks Anthology" off of eBay real cheap. It looks like my sort of game. I installed all three games on my computer. Non of them would work. I keep getting an error with "dmcr.exe" and I was thinking OK what did I do wrong.
Then I did a search of the web and found lots and lots of reports of the same problem here is one sample:
"I have just purchased Cossacks European Wars.
My computer runs on Windows XP.
When I try to play Cossacks the screen goes black for a few seconds and then a warning message comes up saying:
"dmcr.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have set the compatibility as recommended on the box to windows 98/me and checked the box but that does not sort the problem out..."
I think it is just the current hardware I am running. I got a nice video card and I suspect this might work great on an older computer and video card. I will give the seller good feed back on eBay.
I will put this in a box and maybe it will end up on an old computer.
Did you try renaming the "Video" folder in its directory to anything else? Most change it to "Video1." That may not work, but it has been a fix for many with this problem.
