First of all, when you DO buy and install the game, you will NEED to do some configurations to the game first.

Starfleet Command doesn't interface with modern graphics cards or the drivers, as for why you need to do this.

IN YOUR STEAM LIBRARY, RIGHT CLICK THE GAME AND LEFT CLICK "PROPERTIES". FROM THIS POINT, GO TO LOCAL FILES AND LEFT CLICK "BROWSE LOCAL FILES"

From here, you will find an application called "config." Run it, and you'll find a video configuration file. Here, you will want to select "Software" and set to the maximum resolution, once this is done. This will make it so that the software will run the game independently.

After you've set the configs to Software support and set the game at the maximum resolution, you need to find the game application itself, and right click to select "Troubleshoot Compatibility".



From there, you will be prompted with:



Select "Troubleshoot Program", and then check "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now" From here, do "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)", and then test or click "Next".

In the "sfc" configuration settings file, you'll want to change and save this:



YOUR GAME WILL NOW RUN.

There's a nice little program called DxWnd, which will help you bind the program in a windowed form. There's a download for it online, but be sure that you have WinRar/7Zip before you download it, or you'll have no way to run this program.

When you get it extracted, look for "dxwnd" as an application where you extracted it to. Run it as an Administrator and then go to the "Edit" dropdown, and click "Add". You'll be given this.



From here, set the NAME, and then go through this directory for both the path and the launch:




For both Path and Launch, select the Starfleet application. Then, you can set the main to keep the aspect ratio selected, and keep it selected to run in Window.

Go over to Video, and set "Window Size & Position" to Locked Size, so that the game doesn't crash while moving it. Then, you can set your initial resolution and your limit resolution. After this, you simply double click "Starfleet" in the DXWnd option, and it'll start the game.

After this, you'll have to open DXWnd first, but you can open it straight from Steam, and it'll set the game in a window.

Thanks to a nice user by the name of Stilkdog, there has been insight on additional fixes I did not find the origin problems to.

Another one, General Maximus, posted this one.
