Star Trek: Bridge Commander Tips

Overcoming the Black Screen of Death

The Black Screen of Death with the Giant Yellow Cursors is apparently a problem that some people have with Star Trek:  Bridge Commander even on Windows Systems.

I had this problem after 9.0.

I finally solved it this way:

Go to 'programs' and 'run command'.  Choose your Star Trek Bridge Commander bottle and under 'command' type [regedit] (with no brackets).

hkey_current_user/software/wine

Here, right click on the 'wine' folder and create a 'key' called 'Direct3D'.

In hkey_current_user/software/wine/Direct3D create a 'string' called OffscreenRenderingMode.  Right click on the new string and select 'modify'.  Under the value, enter [backbuffer] (with no brackets).

Exit from the regedit.

On my machine at least, STBC now works.
