Had a big problem starting SS08 on my win 7 x64 home.
I could run Mission Editor fine, its just the main game.
My version appears to be 1.4.2 from the mission editor.

hope this helps someone...

So when I start the game, I get the VStep logo and once it reaches 100% I get a message...
ActiveMovie Window: QuestViewer.exe - System Error
The program can't start because MFC71.DLL is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

So I have to kill QuestViewer to exit this message.
I've try installing the game again,
tried running SS as administrator and WinXP modes.
I then tried copying  MFC71.DLL  from www.dll-files.com  to my system32, no different.
then I copied MFC71.DLL to my SysWOW64 folder and wow it works! It asked for my key and bingo I'm sailing.
Anyone had this issue?

I had to use Win7 32 bit. I would like to know more about Win7 64 bit compatibility with 2008. I got Extreme, but I really love some of the 2008 missions......

Hello Evyse,

Welcome to the Forum. Please read Reply # 52 in this thread regarding this matter.

You can run SS 2008 on Win 7. First make a backup of the QuestViewer.exe file in SS 2008. Then copy the QuestViewer.exe file from SSE and paste it into the SS 2008 folder. It will replace the original file (so it is important that you make a back up first).

If you already own SS 2008, please register the License Key in your Profile in this Forum.

I'm not allowed into that

You can do this and it does work well. But do register your SS2008 licence key in your forum profile as mentioned above.
