    Is Star Trek: Armada working on Windows 7

    Almost certainly one game that I grew up with was Star Trek armada and I really like it. I have attempted compatibility mode in each setting, attempted disabling all hardware acceleration and DX 9 sound and the whole thing. While I begin the game I find the introduction movie and the title screen with sound and video but while I go to load up a level it presently freezes. I left it for at least 2 hours and still the loading bar did not shift. I don't know if anybody has managed to obtain this working but I like the game too much I just wish to play it once more.

    Re: Is Star Trek: Armada working on Windows 7

    I am annoying to run the extremely old but classic game Star Trek Armada on a computer operating Windows 7. I had no troubles installing or booting up the game, but while I in fact try to play the game the loading screen flickers reverse and onward for a small number of second and after that the game crashes. Reinstalling the game has had no result to the matter. I am not totally computer illiterate, but I am not extremely tech savvy also so I have here for help. Any help or ideas would be very much valued.

    Star Trek Armada is an extremely old game and I am scared it is not well-matched with any of the newer operating systems. If you contain a PC with Windows 98 setup on it, then you can play Armada on that. Additional than that, I consider you are out of luck. So here after this I am must say all the best, if this information work for you then it is really niceā€¦..

    Yes you are right but here you can as well try by means of Virtual PC or VirtualBox, but there is no guarantee that they will resolve the problem. I have attempted running Armada on a variety of Windows versions, and I have establish the simply way to acquire it working 101 percent correctly is to setup it on a Windows 98 system.

    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 see what's working correctly 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 fun

    For online play, won servers are no longer supported. So we use Game ranger which is a free small program which 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.
    -connect and you will shown a list of games
    -click on the top bar community
    -search user
    -acct ID: 1221160
    -That's me, and i will try help out with any other issues.
