Quite possibly the single best pre-Freespace flight sim of all time, released THREE TIMES, the third time specifically so it would work in Windows, and then MS goes and breaks compatability AGAIN!

Don't worry, TSN. If you hadn't said it, I probably would have. Damn happy people with good relationships rubbing it in my face that no one will love me but the drunk hookers and my cat.

Not to sound crazy and all on-topic and stuff, but assuming that you are using Windows XP...have you tried using the compatibility modes?
And I wouldn't just blame Microsoft here. They can hardly be expected to make sure that every 10 year old game still works on an operating system about a billion times removed from that the game was designed to work on, never mind that the hardware has changed radically too. Blame Lucasarts too. And blame them for not making good games anymore too.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

PsyLiam, stay on topic: this is about getting laid, soda, drunk hookers and a creepy Trek pic where a blonde girl has giant man-hands.
Holy Fuck! Look how thin Scotty is there! Obviously a sign of Phiotoshop manipulation.
