Starship Creator Warp 2 - Defective disc

Was SCW2 published by microprose by anychance?

If so their cd protection doesnt work at all well with latest hardware.

No, Simon and Schuster. Don't know if Microprose had anything to do with it.

Their tech support say it won't work on XP (nice of them not to mention that on the specs), but the old version does. Weird.

Yeah I remember that S&S did some star trek games, but microprose did some also during the same time like Birth of the Federation and Klingon Academy, etc

Ill see if I can shed some light on this

I found out so far it works with XP home and NOT XP Pro. Ill see if I find more about it, perhaps a patch.

Edit: Missed out the word NOT oops :\

Yeah, Microprose's tended to be more games, while S&S tended more towards moderately interactive, fairly sedate things like the Omnipedia, "Interactive" Technical Manual, things like that.

Cheers - much appreciated!

Unfortunately no patch from either S&S or homemade to work with XP.

Sorry buddy.

But try compatability mode on Windows 2000 and not 98/Me

Cheers, will try that.
