This is a windows XP problem, the only way to get fighting steel to work under XP is to use Fighting Steel project. It also rebalances bits of the game and adds a whole lot of new ships.
http://forums.navalwarfare.org/index.php? From there go to "NWS - Fighting Steel Project / Thunder at Sea " and then to the download page. It is free |

Sorry, slight error in original text, should have read reset SYSTEMCHECK to = 1 in DBZLIB.INI file.
No graphis card, built-in Rage Pro , latest driver from ATI (wme j5_30-b02) appeared to load ok Getting brief message on bootup : Error loading driver NDI SHLP. SYS Which surely cannot bode well? But immediately afterwards Win 98SE fires up with no obvious ill effects What I dont know is what program this driver originated in , and is this what is causing the fault cheers Hood |

I would suggest making double sure you have the correct drivers, and reinstalling them. If it still doesn't work, either downgrade to an older driver, or install DirectX 9.0c. The latest drivers may require it. Other than that, I'm stumped. Maybe wipe, and do a complete reinstall of your entire system?
