This thread is about thief 3.....not about thief 2....you all can read this, so can now someone post a solution as to how I can play this on win 7 ?

Er...Thief 1 & 2 are 32-bit applications, I'm pretty sure. You might be thinking color depth, which is something entirely different.

Several years of experience tells me that, if all of legacy apps I've tested including t2 worked correctly then t3 will also work. Im fairly sure T1/2 executable are 32bit apps.

32-bit applications. They're not
that old.
Windows 7 x64 can emulate 32-bit mode, since otherwise it wouldn't be able to run most Windows programs.
Sweet, thats what I suspected.

I agree with you that thief 3 would work in Win 7 64 bit but its not working for me. I am having the same symptoms as quoted below.

When this has happened to me I have had to un-install and re-install t3.. might I also suggest you click on the properties of t3.exe and set the compatibility to Xp or Vista.

I have already tried everything: affinity, imagecfg, priority, compatibility(from 98 to vista). Still no success

ok go into task manager and tell me if you find T3.exe and T3main.exe running

I have the exact same problem. I have installed the game properly (first with the patch, and then again without), but when I run the game, I get a momentary loading cursor, and then nothing. According to task manager, t3.exe runs for a few seconds, then closes for no apparent reason (with no error dialog or anything).
Specs are below:
Windows 7 build 7100
4 Gb RAM
Intel Core 2 DUO T5800 @ 2Ghz
ATI Mobility Radeon 3400
I see people talking about things they've tried and things that have sort of worked briefly, but I don't see any details. How does one perform these aforementioned fixes? Is there anything that's worked for certain, or is it all speculation?
The irony is that I had almost no trouble getting Thief Gold and Thief 2 to run in Windows 7 (after some relatively simple FAQ fixes, such as ddfix, widescreen, etc.).

They are always running in the task manager. They don't stop. I usually have to end them manually. The only thing I notice is that the size of t3.exe keeps increasing in increments of 20kbytes. I even waited for 10 minutes thinking that it would load the game sooner or later but it didn't.
