YOU MIGHT WANT TO MAKE THIS STICKY.....

The computer you have now might have a very newer version of Quicktime installed on it, so first goto control panel and uninstall Quicktime completely.

Next you must install Silent Hunter 2 to another directory, eg. create a folder on C: called Oldgames
C:\oldgames\SSI\Silent Hunter II
Why? Windows 7 Will not allow older games to modify files within Program Files.

Follow the rest of the install and when it asks you to install Quicktime 5 choose yes and also install it to your C:\oldgames\
Then NEVER UPDATE Quicktime

DONOT install that old version of Direct X if asked

Follow these steps to install Destroyer Command

Also right click on the Silent Hunter 2 shortcut icon and choose properties, then click the compatibility tab, then choose to run it as Windows XP service pack 3 compatibility
