I just love trying to push my pc. Now I want to get Battleship, by Hasbro Interactive, to work.
I have a Win7 PRO PC, running 64 bit. I know. That's like the kiss of death to old games. Well I installed Battleship onto my PC, via the XP MODE option from Microsoft, and it worked to install, but XP mode is a turd for gaming. It doesn't have the gramba to run such graphically, and system advanced programs. It's for word, and excel and that sort of thing. Anyhoo, I got the game installed, and tried running it in my standard WIN7 environment, and it looks like it will start, but then, in BLACK SCREEN, a box comes up saying FILE MISSING, PLEASE INSSTALL BATTLESHIP CD AND PRESS "OK". I had the CD in my D drive, where I installed from, but when I hit "OK", the program holds for a bit, and then crashes, and I don't hear the D drive being accessed, so I can only assume that the EXE file, or some other file is not looking in the right place for the CD ROM. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You might want to have a look at the Infogrames Support page for the game:

Also, there was at least one update for the game, but I have no idea where to get it these days, so I am attaching a copy. I have no idea if there are localized versions of the patch (or the game), so it may not work with your particular release.
