Running Mount & Blade 0.751 on Win7

[Amherawdyr]

Do you guys have any idea on how to run M&B versions older than 0.808? Yeah, I'm an old geek . I've been trying to run 0.751, but the launcher does not show up (whereas game is still visible in task manager). I know that this is probably related to Themida. And yes, I tried all possible solutions I found in other topics, no luck. Any help?

If you want to run old Mount and Blade versions in Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10, try to deactivate the Anti-virus! It was the only way that I found to sucessfully launch the 0.903 version of the game (I have Windows 8.1). I think that because the version being too old, the Anti-virus interprets some processes associated with it as virus, which blocks it, even without warning the user.

(I've been telling this in many forum topics, because I spent too much time trying to make 0.903 work on my computer. I really tried everything! At the last chance by seredenpity I found this solution. Tell me if it worked for you too)
