The Settlers Heritage of Kings error opening the game

I won’t be surprised if that game throws a fatal error. Just like what I am always saying, before you install an application or a game, you should check first for the system requirements so you can assess if your computer can run it or not. The game “The Settlers: Heritage of Kings” is designed to run on older operating systems and it doesn’t support Windows 7.

It is known unofficially as “The Settlers V” and its original title is in German, “Die Siedler – das Erbe der Könige”. It is the fifth installment of The Settlers series. This game supports Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. So, since you are using Windows 7, try running it in compatibility mode.

Right-click on the game’s shortcut and select Properties. Select Compatibility tab then check “Run this program in compatibility mode for”. Select Windows XP from the pull-down menu and then click OK. Start the game again and see if it works. Though this method lets you run programs designed on older operating systems but there are times it is not successful.
