fallchild: I'm having the same problem and also running win7 64 bit. It won't auto launch or let me type in any command prompts. I hope they fix this soon, there goes 6 bucks down the drain. Could of reserved a game at gamestop. lol
xwormwood: I have the exact same problem.
Neither Wing Command 1 or Wing Command 2 runs.
So, thanks for nothing, GOG.
I would truly appreciate if someone would offer an explanation or a working game.
ASAP.
edit:
Win7 64bit, 8 GB RAM, Geforce 560
Ok, when clicked the mouse button i was able to start Wing Commander 1.
Why is this necessary?
No other game before demanded from me to click through a "welcom to dos box" screen, which appears as if it crashed the game.fallchild: Thank you. It's working!
thornton_s: Run the programs as administrator and they should work ok. Either right click the icon and select 'run as administrator' or set ti in compatability mode. Hope this helps. fallchild: [/i]
When i changed the installation path (de-installed the game before that, of course) i didn't had the problem anymore.
It seems that all you have to do is to change the installation path, not using the one the GOG intallation program has already defined for you (C: ...).
I installed it on my F: drive, and the game started like all other GOG games did before.
Usually i always install games on e different hard drive, but not on the C drive.
This time i was so excited to finally get Wing Commander i forgot to change the path.
And than the problems began to start.
