I recently purchased Starship Titanic for the PC and came across something of a problem. In Windows XP, the video parts of it did not play back. Instead there was just a black area on the screen which was, frankly, unhelpful. Anyway, after a bit of seaching we came across this chap's blog which contained a fix for it. Basically, one of the Service Pack 2 Dlls stops the game playing back it's avi files. the fix is to download the Service pack 1 iccvid.dll and put it in your Starship Titanic directory - the one with ST.EXE in it. And wonder of wonders, the game runs fine! You can download the file from Lofland's Blog, or I've hosted a copy of it here, just in case.
Three cheers for Lofland! Hip Hip...
