Did somebody already test, if Bridge Commander works properly on Windows 7?

Some people at BCS said it works with Windows 7 64 bit at the least.

Well, I'm running Windows 7 32-Bit, and Bridge Commander seems to work perfectly for me.

Runs great for me on Windows 7
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

It runs on Windows 7 with KM but when you install the Generations Galaxy bridge and the CCF and you want to play a quick battle you get a error and bc.exe stops working. Does anyone have the same problem? And what's the way to solve this?

Running Windows 7 x64 and BC runs smoothly.  Even better then it did on Vista.

how about you first tell us what bc version, what mods etc you use and what intrepid you installed? there are so many possibillities and im a little too lazy too search for ANY.  :P

it isnt a Windows 7 problem...  also, use BCUT to add ships in if they dont come with their own plugins...
btw - you may wish to create a separate thread for your issue with this ship since it isnt a Win 7 problem...

Hello,

First of all, sorry for thread-revival, but my issue is just with Windows 7 and BC, so I preferred not to open a new topic.

On to my issue: I have Star Trek: Bridge Commander, original version without any mods or upgrades. I've installed it on to a Windows 7 64bit computer, without any flaws.

But as I tried to run the game, simply a black screen appears, with the mouse icon hovering around. There is no videos, no menu not even any sound, I'm just watching a yellow star-trek mouse-pointer roaming around in total blackness.

I've searched other forums for this issue, and found nothing relevant. Any suggestions?

On Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit runs best :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

that solves nothing...

anyway on to Shroudeye's question... I'd try and install BC in a directory other than programfiles like C:\Games

If your BC can't install properly, reinstall it to C:\Games (x86)  folder and try again or install it in other Local Disk. For example D:\Games. My Games are in D:\Games, E:\Games and H:\Games and everything is working fine ;)

I had it installed on E:/Program files/...

I'll try reinstalling it to a different location, I'll let you know if it worked or not.

BTW thanks for replying so fast :D
