I think the issues you're facing will have a lot to do with your hardware and OS.

Back in the good old days, Dangerous Waters had a rep of being a tough program to run.

It runs fine on a 32 bit OS as long as you have enough RAM to access, but even on a 32 bit OS you may hit some blue screens. On older OS versions you may be limited by a 16 bit OS which makes DW practically impossible to run.

Older "versions" of DW may be worth looking into. Sub Command is still available as a direct download or via Steam. The SCX mod for Sub Command (available here or at subguru.com) updates some of the 3D models and some other features. I had no problems running SC on a 32 bit Vista OS and it was also playable in 16 bit Win98.
