Change the 0 to a 1. That will keep the game from asking you to insert a CD in order to play. Also right click on the game icon on the desktop(and/or the one in the game folder) and choose "properties". When the menu pops up choose "compatibility" and check the box next to "disable visual themes". After that enjoy but note:<br /><br />No voices<br /><br />No online play<br /><br />And that's that.

And I was sorely dissapointed by the game. There are numerous bugs, the campaign is short, and doesn't allow much time for wandering before you're forced to the next mission. The conquest campaign is pathetic for any race, with almost no action whatsoever, plus the missions are lame and repetitive. VERY repetitive. I played 6 "scan the planet" missions in a row before I finally said "To hell with this". The customizeable starship idea is neat tho.<br /><br />On a related note I caught the last 2 minutes of Electric Playground on TV today and they featured a new star trek game similar to Bridge Commander. I didn't catch the name or what platform it's on. If anyone has any info about it, let me know. It looks pretty cool. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Cartman</b> <br /><small>Member # 256</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,21,6,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2006</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:09 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That would be <a href="http://startrek.bethsoft.com/games/ta-overview.html" target="_blank">Tactical Assault</a>, one of a <a href="http://startrek.bethsoft.com" target="_blank">threesome</a> of games coming out to commemorate Trek's 40th anniversary. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Da_bang80</b> <br /><small>Member # 528</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,21,10,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2006</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:12 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Cool, too bad it looks like it's only going to be for Console.
