Ensure you are patched to 2.0.36: http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_eaw/patches/SFC2Patch2002-2036.exe
Get the directory server update for the Dynaverse: http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/patches/sfc2_directory_server_updater.exe (for EAW and OP)
Find Starfleet2.exe in the EAW installation folder, copy it, and paste it as a shortcut on the desktop, then use only that shortcut to start the game.
Let us know if you're still having troubles.

Unfortunately, I have a similar problem.
I have:
1. Updated my DirectX
2. Un-intalled SCF:OP, then Re-installed it, updated it to 2552, installed OP+ 4.0, installed the UAW mod, dowloaded all the ship/mission scripts.
3. Created a new shortcut
4. DISABLED ALL FIREWALLS
5. Updated my video drivers (I have a GeForce4 Ti 4200)
6. Restored the origonal drivers on my video card (when updating didn't work)
7. Used the .bat file for the beta UAW
The problem is, I can log onto the server select screen. When I select a server, a screen pops up saying conntecing to server. Then, I crash to desktop. Any suggestions?

do you use a privacy service like the one from Mcafee. if so you need to uninstall it

I had assumed you had already installed the game...
Try simply browsing to the CD in the windows explorer and double-click setup.exe in the root folder of the CD.
-
Tks for your update. I tried to click setup.exe but does not work.

Hey
Reboot the PC
Make sure the CD is clean with no scratches
Turn off AntiVirus
