Hi, im new around here.

I've spent the last hour  trying to get this to work on my vista Sad (home premium ). I still can't even get to the menu. I've got an annoying feeling that I missing something obvious, so if someone could write a step by step quide that an idiot could understand (ie me) I would greatly appeciate it.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. This looks like a realy great game. i realy like the sound of the adaptable borg ships!

Ok.
First, install Fleet Ops V3PR on an XP computer. That means use the official patch, the media patch, and the actual game.
Second, copy the Star Trek folder with Fleet Ops and paste it to your vista computer in your My Documents using a flash disk or cd or LAN. Don't put it in your program files (UAC will be engaged and make it not work)
Third, download the zip from the first page, first post, of this thread and extract.
Fourth, delete .map from your star trek folder and replace with .mad and also add that other file from the extracted zip (a grand total of two files)
Fifth, play 

I hope that's good enough 

Sorry to break the news, but there is no Borg in this version, only in the upcoming release (sorry if you already knew that though  )

Did you put the FO/Activision folder in your my documents (not your program files)?

Not really  Sad ; after I removed FO from my program files... everything worked out (by the way, I take it you did use xp to install v3 pr originally?)... possibly follow the other set of directions here: supposedly this works too

"I can also confirm that this worked flawlessly.
Boot to safe mode (tap f8 during boot)
install fleet ops/patch/media
replaced the 2 files

And then you can boot like normal and it works np. (i installed to a folder on my desktop)"

hmmm... I did install that... but I have no idea if it has any effect or not on FO working.
You say you installed it completely... but what do you mean? Did you follow either set of directions completely? I don't know how to help you if you don't tell me what exactly you did

Hmmm... sorry to say I don't know what's wrong.  I myself used the xp route for vista...
The last thing I can suggest is also installing the media file... but I don't think that'll have any effect. Maybe somebody else here knows something about it 

If you really want to get it working, you could always try the other method if you have access to an xp computer...
