I don't think your solution is going to get my retail copy of might
and magic 7 to *run*. I don't care about the CD Audio. I never get far
enough to hear it! It crashes to desktop before the first game screen
ever appears. No matter what patch I install. No matter what
compatibility mode I set the exe to. No matter what stupid dumb trick
I tried from googling the problem. Trust me, the game is one stubborn
son of a bitch on my computer.

On top of that, I am not very familiar with the software you mention.
So even if I am wrong, and your instructions will get the game
running, it will take *me* more then a few minutes. For what GOG is
asking for a completely working, trouble-free version, non-DRM version
of the game, well, thanks... but no thanks.
