Have you upgraded drivers to most recent version? That can work wonders.

i found out what i need to play heroes of might and magic,
i went to this website:
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
it tells you if you can play the game,
go to the website and click on heroes of might and magic 5,
and press can you run it?,
it works only on 2000, XP, 2003, Media Center, Vista.
it looks at your computer's hardware and your system's software to determines if you can run the game or not.
hopes this help to those who is having the same problems as me.

Munlax, glad you found what the problem was ...
Speaking/writing generically, also would be more useful for others to help the one with the problem if the originator gave as much info as possible [this applies to ALL requests for help, not just you]...
Unfortunately no one has any idea that you would NOT be using XP, 2000, etc [help others to help you]

Hey,
I had Heroes 5 on my computer and then I reformmated it.
I installed the game once again, and when I try to play it, (With disk 1) it loads for like 2 mins, and then says:
"Unable to authenticate original disc within time limit.
Try again?"
I can Retry or Cancel, help anyone?

Some bug report
Hi
Long time homm player and fan, esp homm3 ^^.
Havent really played homm5 until recently, and last week i registred online to play multiplayer and I discovered some bugs...
First of all, Im not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, if not so, please tell me where I should take this up....
The first and definitively most important bug is in fact the reason I now created this forum account to tell you all about is this:
When playing Academy you can with artificer get an umlimited amount of rescources! When creating a miniartifact if you click 2 or 3 times on the create bottom instead of once, you get 2-3 miniartfacts EVEN IF you didnt have the rescourses to create them (though you need the resc. to create the first). Then sell one of them and create 2-3 more (you can get more than 3 if you click fast enough), sell 1 and create 2-3more ect... then finially sell them all to get a 300-400 houndred resc. in about 2 minutes. And with marketplace you can then get unlimited gold.
Seriously! Not funny! Ruins the game for me.. =/ Discovered it by mistake when I doubleclicked on create artifact (I tend to doubbleclick sometimes, a habbit from some other game) and got 2 miniartifacts when I couldnt afford it, surprised, i tryed to sell them and back the rescourcces needed to create them normally.
Im playing 3,1 ToE.
Ofc this must be considered a cheat. Just try it out, totally broken bug.
As a consequence when me and some friends are going to play, the Academy fraction must ofc be forbidden, which also is a bad thing, cuz I kinda love Academy (imba early with Havoc AND late cuz of the miniartifacts).
My only hope is that this must be fixed with a patch asap (yeah yeah... I know.... Im living in a dream world).
Ok.... I just needed to tell someone about this...
Now secondly, though far less important, IMO it should be considered a bug that when the modes switches from simultaneous to turn-based player 2,3,4 ect... will get 100% movement back on all heroes (so the heroes can move and attack twice this turn) while (mark) player 1 doesnt recieve this benefit (his clock will just reset, not the heros movement points)... I hope ofc this too will be fixed, though this bug doesnt really breaks the whole game and isnt as that important
as bug no.1.
Ok then, else I havnt founded any more bugs, if I do, you'll probably hear from me.
Lastly, I kinda see it as a bug that if you have both the Travel Boots and Boots of Open Road you can get both bonuses if you end every turn with the Travel Boots and start every turn by switching to Boots of Open Roads. Though some1 else may not even see this as a bug, but Im just mentioning it...

A sidenote
Though I think the second thing I meantioned in the post above is unintentional and therefore a "bug", Im really not sure it matter much, becuz IMO player 1 get a some benfits for beeing player 1, chiefly beeing able to buy all units on day 1, send it through a chain of heroes to the main hero and then attack the other players main hero or city on day 1 BEFORE the other player is able to buy some of the units from that week.. Its a tiny bit broken that too... though you could do the same on homm3, and I really dont see any way around it, so it probably have to be like that =/

Which version of the game are you playing - are you sure you've patched up to most recent patch (1.6 / 2.1 / 3.1)?

AMD Sempron, 1,750 MHZ (cca 1.72 GHZ), used to run at 1,400 and I can take it up to 2,100 with better cooling before having to overcloak.
768 MB Ram
Video Card is a GeForce FX 5200 with 128 MB video all its own
Windows XP
DirectX 9.0c
and Tribes of the East with patch 3.01, video settings to low image quality, haven't turned doodads off and resolution is 1024*768.
Small maps run decently, but I used to be capped at large size maps, which for me are still too small. Computer's turns also take a bit of a lot to solve. Still, I'll give some impossible and huge maps another try, my PC is clean now and I've placed the fan on the CPU's cooler in the correct direction  netting me 40-42 degrees Celsius on it instead of the old 55-58.
I won't be upgrading this PC, if I get money I'll just buy a new one piece by piece (I abhor bank rates and loans).
Still, what's the piece of hardware that gets the most beating from larger map sizes, and what can be done about it?
Edit: The last part wasn't important but this is: How can I stop the trees from moving? They don't do that irl except in gale force winds and it must really eat up resources.

That game requires a bit of memory, at 1gb ram I had trouble with larger maps. When I upgraded to 2gb it all went smoothly. I can't remember if it has option to turn off shadows?

Lisa: In that case it's probably an error with your installation, some code that was messed up around the boots themselves or the mission. It might work to backup your profiles and mods and reinstall the game. Just don't lose your saves, I've done that with quite a few games
Elvin: Well, I would be hard pressed to find RAM for my museum-grade motherboard, I upgraded it from 256 about a year ago but I'm still afraid of all the workable ram being off the market now. Plus, my 3rd slot might not even work

Have you patched? I recall that was an issue with a cracked 2.1 patch but a proper one came out later.

Will HOMM V Run on a new Vista PC w/ nVidia GeForce GT240?
Hi, my son bought HOMM V but it doesn't run on our 6 yr old XP PC (has GeForce 4 MX graphics card) so considering a new one but can't figure out if this game will work on a newer computer.
Have many folks gotten HOMM V to work on Vista? I've spent hours reading this thread and others, and most folks with problems on Vista seemed to have switched back to XP, but computers only come with Vista now so I need to know if anyone's had any success with Vista.
I'm looking at a Dell XPS 630 or 8000 which have a 1024MB nVidia GeForce GTS240 (the 630) or GTS220 (the 8000). Anyone know if these are backward compatible with the "GeForce 3/4/FX/6/7" listed on product's minimum requirements? Dell tech support thought they might be but I'd feel better if someone else out there has gotten newer cards (especially these) to work with this game. (I don't know enough about graphics cards to figure this out myself)
M$ website says that DirectX10 on Vista is backward compatible with all previous versions of DirectX, but earlier posts on this thread suggest one has to install DirectX9.. because min requirements mention DirectX9.0c. Any experiences to share?
I've tried ubisoft support but the suggestions they gave (run in compatibility mode etc) seem to have been tried by others in this forum without success and they didn't say whether any of them had success with Vista, just that they don't support it.
I can't run the program that tests if your computer will work because of course I don't have the computer yet.
So, any advice would be appreciated. My son is so disappointed because he bought this with his own money and hasn't been able to play.

my 1337 is a bit rusty...
No new patches are coming out.
I run vista x64 and have similar graphic glitches from time to time but the funny things is that I can change it without any problem if I want to. Usually I don't care 
If drivers are up to date then I suppose it maybe because your card is overheating or you have some background programs running which eat up your memory.
And if that won't work then play on a bit lower setting. H5 on highest graphic qaulity isn't worth it and it makes playing on bigger maps impossible. It seems to slow down AI for me
