This article is still being written. Feel free to help :)
Because Stars! was designed to run on Windows 3.11 or Windows 95, you may experience problems running it on later Windows versions.
In particular version 2.7 requires wavemix.dll, which is no longer supplied with Windows. Wavemix.dll can be found on the downloads article.
Windows
3.11
Stars! was designed for this OS. There are no issues using Stars! that I am aware of.
95/98/ME
wavemix.dll
- Requried by v2.7. To install it, simply copy it into your c:\windows directory(or wherever you installed Windows.)
NT/2000/XP
wavemix.dll
- Requried by v2.7. To install it, simply copy it into your c:\windows directory(or wherever you installed Windows.)
stars.ini
- Because stars.ini resides in the windows directory (%WINDOWS% - C:\Windows or whereever you installed windows too), Stars! needs to be run by a user with administrator rights for stars.ini to be created. Once created, granting write access will allow all normal Stars! functions. If you do not have and cannot borrow admin rights, Stars! will run just fine without stars.ini, but you will lose the benefits stars.ini provides i.e. you'll have to re-enter your serial every time Stars! is run, Stars will not remember your window layout, zip orders, saved queues or custom fonts.
