It's loading onto Vista 64 that causes the problem
Solution - buy pre patched 1.4 and star force free if you can get one, or download via steam.
Are there any issues with steam downloading?
If anybody has a workaround for vista 64 I would be grateful.

Do you know where I could download this new version of Star Force? The one on my computer right now doesn't seem to do jack...

I actually downloaded the no CD patch (I do own a legal copy of the game) yesterday and the game still wouldn't work. I keep getting the usual "this game requires Windows 95/98/ME etc..." to run crap even after installing and uninstalling the game over and over again using different ideas presented in this thread. Nothing worked.
I'm at the point of screaming.
ALSO, does anyone else experience this when playing Silent Hunter III? When the game ran on my old laptop with Vista 32, my computer would just promptly shut down after about an hour or two of gaming -
overheating issues. It's really frustrating that this crap keeps happening, especially since I have a well ventilated room.
A few weeks ago, when my old computer was still working, I actually played SH3 with the windows fully open - and ice cold air entered the room. I had to sit at my desk in a thick jacket and pants and heavy socks just to keep warm.
And my POS computer still overheated and shut down as I played SH3. After that, it wouldn't start anymore and I eventually found out that my HD was busted. Thanks a lot SH3.
How the hell can a modern laptop, that should have no issues at all running SH3, keep overheating all the time when running this game!? This game supposedly wasn't even bringing the machine to its limits... This happened about seven times...
