EDIT: You could also try disabling all the 3D stuff in DirectX (Direct3D etc.), then enabling them one-by-one to see if any of them are causing the problem.

Thanks, do I do that in the start menu? [/QUOTE]OK, in the start menu, click Run, and type in dxdiag and click OK. Click the Display tab, and disable anything that may be enabled, such as DirectDraw acceleration, Direct3D acceleration etc.
Without these, it should force MM8 to use software mode, but just to make sure (assuming you installed it under the default start menu group):
In the start menu, select Programs, then select 3DO, then select Might and Magic VIII, then there should be a Might and Magic VIII Configuration Utility. Click that, then make sure it's set to software 3D. You might also want to disable accelerated 3D audio if it's not already disabled, just in case.
That's how I got MM7 running on WinXP, and so I presume it would work the same for MM8.
