Re: Star Trek: Armada on Windows 7?Dunno if this is a dead post or not if it is i apologize in advanced. Me and a few old armada vets like 14 of us play late night on game ranger. We all use windows 7 to keep the game from going out of sync. I will try my best to give you guys a check list to do it may help. Also if you want to come play online you can do.Checklist:-Install armada on windows 7-Patch to 1.2-go to armada Dir C:/program files/activistion/star trek - armada-right click on armada.exe - properties (here comes the fun part)-go to compatibility tab-set it for windows xp sp2-run in 256 colors-set to run as administrator-Check armada CD is in the drive and gl have funNote: that Sometimes lowering the screen resolution May help fix some gfx problems.

Also there are problems known with some sound cards which is more complex to fix and results in screen lag or slow down we are trying to find a way way to fix this. Another noted problem is on machines with more then 2 GB ram, armada seems to hate going over 2gb and makes it run into the negatives telling u not enough disk space.For online play, won servers are no longer supported o joy. So we use Game ranger, which is a free small program and is able to host armada as well as other games. I'll walk you threw online.-Google, Game Ranger (not hard to find)-Download, install, register.-run and connect and you will shown a list of games-click on the top bar community-click: search user-Enter acct ID: 1221160-That's me, and i will try help out with any other issues. I use a program to run old games called Palette Stealer Suspender. I know it works to prevent color muck ups in Age of Empires, it might help with your black screen issue. It's a free download.

Just google, download, install, open it, and browse to the.exe file.Hope that helps. I'd like to drag this one and SFC3 out and play again. I only ever got SFC3 to connect to a friend's computer via LAN once, and for some damned reason you can't use transporters when human players are in the game. Totally lame, there goes 50% of my strategy! Re: Star Trek: Armada on Windows 7?It's the RAM issue.As it was already mentioned, Armada refuses to run on systems over 2GB of RAM (and no amount of messing with the properties will change that).I think in such situations, it would be best to install XP in a virtual machine (as a virtual OS) and allocating 1.5 or 2GB to it. But you have to make sure that 3d acceleration is supported by the Virtual machine software in question.Either that, or installing XP on a separate partition and use the inf file to limit the amount of detectable/usable RAM. Re: Star Trek: Armada on Windows 7?try this program3D ANALYZE V2.26SIZE=13D-Analyze is a tool for transform and lightning hardware emulation.

So it is very useful for running TnL games on video cards that have not on board dedicated circuits for TnL calculations (like all Voodoo, Kyro, some Radeon and older). It uses power of central processing unit to do emulation.3d analyze is a Graphics Card Emulator that can emulate all the feature of a 3d graphics card like pixelshader 1.1, 1.4, 2.0, bump maps and a lota stuff. If a game stops running on your system just because u dont have a graphics card, dont worry 3d analyze will do it for ya. Run 3danalyze select the game exe, select a few options u wanna emulate and there u go the game run perfectly now./SIZEi havent tested it as i run an ati, but if you could give me feedback that would be great. Lines game download. Holy board games 2010 free download. If this works for you don't be shy and come play online XD. Click to expand.Yeah I'll completely agree that Armada 2 was awful, but FleetOps just makes it SO much better lol, it's like an entirely new game - new ships, the ability to choose different avatars for races that give you bonuses, upgraded graphics, customisable and more realistic Borg ships (cubes and spheres now take multiple ships to take on, more like in the series), warp has been taken out.it just feels like a different game to be honest.

There's a load of commentated replays on youtube if you wanted to see what the gameplay etc is like. ST: GenerationsIf you're like me and refused to throw this good game away in hopes they'd ever come up with an XP patch, you're in luck.If you install this game, and click properties in the game's.exe files, and under the compatibility tab, check (or uncheck, I can't remember, but essentially make the computer worse) the available boxes (I'd be a good computer engineer, you can tell).Then run the game. Before, the game always crashed on XP the minute Riker was beaming down to Amargosa.When the screen STARTS to fade from the observatory, right-click. You then get the game loading screen with the proceed button, and Riker's on his way to Amargosa. I'd guess the right-clicking skips the video coming up, which crashes the game.

Right-click every time you're leaving the observatory, so you get the mission that follows.Also keep in mind that alt+ctrl+up arrow rotates the screen 90 degrees. You may need it later, but at all costs avoid hitting the Windows key.Not sure if it'll run on Vista or 7, but it runs fine on XP.(Sorry if this has been posted before, searched and couldn't find it.). Setting Bridge Commander up from scratchHi gang, I recently upgraded my PC to a Win7 machine and I've dusted off the original Bridge Commander - I've read it still works fine on 7, and would like to give it a try as it's been quite some time.Questions:- I have two monitors, how does BC fare on that? Do I jsut get a blacnk second screen in 7?- What is the sequence of installs for the patches / whatever from bcfiles?

Back on the XP machine I got a couple crashes as I loaded it up. I wonder if there's a better order to upgrade the basic machine?-Since I haven't in quite some time, I'm gonna go through the story mode first. Will BC handle all the latest model upgrades in that, or should I just leav it be?Thanks for any pointers!Mark. Re: Windows 7 ST Game Install & Run Issues with SolutionsWell for Starfleet Command I got it to run using the following method I was turned on to in another thread.1. Insert CD and run setup exe as administrator.2. Once files are loaded, go into the install directory. Across the top where the name, size, type is located click on the file type.3.

Then click on applications, to bring up only the exe files.4. Right click on each exe file.

Click on properties, click on compatibility tab.5. Put a check in compatibility mode for (WTF!) windows 2000.go figure.6. Now the boring stuff. Put a check in both visual themes and desktop composition and run in admin.7. If you want to be real sure click on the show setting for all users tab and redo the whole process once more.This method also works with Klingon Honor Guard and several other Non-trek games.
