Don't have it.

Lucky guess #1:
If it's a P4 with HyperThreading try setting the affinity for the game to a single processor.

You could also check whether your game is updated or not. Check the web for patches (if available).

Nope, I have an AMD 64 3000+ and I have found other people with older systems that had the same problem.

And there's no patch or crack at all for STTNG. I did hear it works under Microsoft Virtual PC.

Have you read this thread?

It may give you some tips on what to do.

That's a DOS game though, I did use all the stuff to get Final Unity running a few months ago, but Generations is completely Windows, nothing there will apply to it, but thanks anyway.

Have you tried the usual stuff?

Reducing Hardware/Sound acceleration?
Using a slowdown program like Abandon Loader?

You said it doesn't play the Intro....is the intro encoded into game files or is it a an .AVI file encoded with a custom codec?

Wish I had the game to test out but I never picked it up because it was a Star Trek game and they are usually crap.

Well I installed Virtual PC because I got tired of the nonsense, and it runs it fine except that I can't turn left or right in the game - which is quite an important problem 😖 I can strafe, move forward and backward, jump, duck, shoot, etc. but NOT turn left and right.

Umm I think you can, Ive played the game through when it was new and beside the technical aspect of the problem, this game is just insane dumb crap, beginning with controls, youll have to set a key for mouselook. Im not sure if you can lock it or not, but if not, youll have to press the key for mouselook all the time (i suggest shift or sth). However, I still think that there MUST be bindings for left-right somewhere.. well guess ive got to install it again (first try in xp, to see if its really impossible, and if yes, then on 98... but i have fear to boot that, got to install about 4 new hardware cards, since its quite a while i bootet it alst (about 8 month ago to play vampire: the masquerade which wouldnt install on 2k for some unknown reason (although it now works fine on xp^^)).

Just dug this up again - I meant that the game wouldn't let me turn left and right under Virtual PC. Not that the game couldn't, but it seems to be a weird bug.
