I keep getting the error in the attached picture when I try to launch the 1998 version. I've tried it with both my Thrustmaster T-16000M and my Xbox 360 wired controller. I don't see any other references to this problem on the forum or on the support page. Would anybody happen to have any ideas?

I am having the exact same problem and can't get any help from GOG (can't submit a ticket, it goes back to "support". Alienware X51 R2 Windows 8.1

Same issue here as well. Running Windows 8. GOG's technical support link is circular. It doesn't let you submit an email.

aye had great hope for this but am beggining to think about a refund, its really aggravating

I'm having the same problem with 98 tie fighter and 98 x-wing. Previously x-wing worked on an older computer but not on my new 64 bit windows 8 setup.

mine was working fine on windows 7. then i reinstalled 7 and got the same error message. maybe missing a driver? same computer same operating system.
