Would just like to say thanks for all the great info posted here. I'm having an issue with spaceship combat. Running Windows 7 premium, and followed all the above advice, game loads fine, get into space ship combat fine, even the combat itself is fine. After combat though I immediatly get a generic program not working error message check online for a solution etc, and the game crashes. This occurs in both multiple player and single player games. If anyone else had this problem and has a work around, would really appreciate it. Thank ya!
