Huh, the DW game still have a problem running properly on my home PC under Win7-the game menu is flashing for cople of seconds, about 10, and dissapear. I've tried to change the compability settings to run in Win XP SP3 mode, not effect. The other things are going well, the game runs stable, only have the menu issue. I'll be glad for some help hou to manage the game under Win 7-64? My own last experience finished with Win XP 5 years ago...

It really is the speech recognition applet. Whenever you click options it tries to come to the foreground. But the game wants to stay fullscreen so there is a short fight going on. Nothing bad happens though. Just annoying.

Or you have the game installed into C:\Program Files (or similar x86 folder), and you are trying to save a game file in to the Scenario folder or save a screenshot. Then User Account Control is popping up a message to ask your approval because Windows wants to prevent that. If this takes too long before acknowledgement then this goes away and whatever you tried to do fails to work. To avoid that install the game into a folder outside of c:\Program Files (whatever)

Yeah, the speech recognition is annoying. For me if I'm running full screen, it pops up, my game minimizes, and then I leave it up and go back in game. It won't bother you again as long as you leave it up. But, I run the game in a window so it's a non-issue for me.

For what it's worth, I've never had an issue having my game installed to Program Files, but it's worth a shot if the problem still persists.

I'll be damned. DW worked when i started it from Steam the first time. A day later a startup error an no luck. The wrapper wasn't even installed so i tried but no luck. I even had backup copy of the whole directory but no luck.
I just installed Sub Command from Steam and it works at 1600x1200. Without the wrapper. I copy the settings ini file to my other Sub Command folder but no luck there.
I have no clue what is going on here. I'm starting to think to revive my 2006 pc or try VM.

I am hopefully in the process of rejoining the ranks of submarine commanders after a decade of absence due to only having Mac computers, since I just bought a PC specifically for gaming, and all of the old toys are beckoning me, hehe. I am running Windows 10 and have Steam installed.

As an owner of Dangerous Waters, Sub Command, et al from way back, I am wondering if there have been any updates made to the Steam versions that would make it worthwhile for me to purchase them this week (a bundle is on sale for $6) rather than going through the installs and digging up the patches from my saved disks. In fact might buy them from Steam just to save myself the effort of digging that stuff up ... that is, unless someone here tells me that I'll have better luck getting my old versions installed and running on Windows 10 than I would with the Steam versions.

Also, what is the consensus opinion (if any) at this point on whether or not this Windows 10 wrapper actually works?

I'm having the same problem as mentioned before. Installs and runs fine first time, then straight to the "Windows is searching for a solution to the problem"

I've tried that DLL with no luck. Win10 64bit here

Sorry I am not very computer literate.

When you say unpack to game directory; Where exactly is the game directory? Is it just the dangerous waters folder or a sub folder?

Thanks
