This has just started tonight. I try to go on to BC, Test Mode and normal, but it doesn't start. After several minutes of waiting, the computer shuts down. The last thing I put on the game was a Terran Constitution. I see no reason for the problems. Its on my external hard drive, but Homeworld, another game on the EHD is not affected. Could it simply be overuse? Or has it become corrupted in some way?
This also means I cannot make screenshots until the problem goes away... or the game is reinstalled :(

Can you please check the event viewer for BC related problems. And if you find anything post it here so that we may use this information to better troubleshoot.

by the event viewer i presume you mean the ` button? I can't use it. As I said the game doesn't start. though now I think the problem is a romulan torpedo that i put in yesterday

A projectile, should not cause , a NO START
-
yup. not the projectile. still not starting. can't get a console report. can't even get two steps into Test Mode.
-
No, that's not what I meant. I meant this (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Open-Event-Viewer).
-
as i said in the screenshot thread before i realised you made this thread, make another fresh install of the game elsewhere and copy the stbc.exe from that new install and replace the exe in your current screenshotting install with this new fresh one and see what happens. when a .exe file goes south on you its usually fails to even create a process, so it could just be that your current stbc.exe file is corrupt or dead.

seeing as my BC is downloaded, i got new .exe from online. didn't solve it in the least :(
-
hmm, i also use a downloaded version and i havent come across this before and as jimmy will no-doubtidly say "downloaded versions have more issues than the original cd's because theyre downloaded"
