<t> A quick question regarding promotion.<br/>
<br/>
According to the manual promotion to Lieutenant is at 2000 points and Lt Commander at 5000. However I have over 6000 points and am only a Lieutenant. I only got promoted to Lieutenant at about the 5500 mark.<br/>
<br/>
My question is this, is ...

<t> I had the same error preventing me from running the game, what I did was this;<br/>
<br/>
Update Direct X<br/>
<br/>
Start--- Run--- Dxdiag<br/>
<br/>
select the display tab<br/>
<br/>
select the "disable direct 3d acceleration"<br/>
<br/>
exit<br/>
<br/>
then repeat the above and ...

First of all you need to look at the errlog.txt file in your Starshatter folder. That will tell you were the problem lies in the starting of the game. If you can copy and paste that as a new post then we'll be able to see where the problem is.
