Hello!

I recently came into possession of 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' (5 CD version). I installed it on my Windows 7 (64bit) desktop, and then put it to run in WinXP compatibility mode so as to get rid of the graphical distortions. That fixed that. BUT, there's still a major, major problem that I can't find any help on. On both the menu, and in the Bridge gameplay, the screen keeps turning to black. I have to move my cursor around to get rid of the blackness, only for the screen to go black a few seconds later. Naturally, this makes the game completely unplayable. Google yields practically no results - the only thing relevant being a thread on this forum from someone with the same problem, but who found the solution by uninstalling a piece of software called SpywareGuard. I literally installed SpywareGuard and then uninstalled it right afterwards to see if that would fix it. It didn't. I've patched the game to 1.5, but I still have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. I'm at my wits end and ANY help would be deeply appreciated.

Here's hoping someone can help me out!
