In order to install the Windows 10 patch for Star Trek Armada 1 you can follow these steps: This fix allows Star Trek Armada 1 and 2 be fully functional on Windows 10. After running a few tests I found out that enabling DDrawCompat solved that problem. However there were still some missing animations in the menu screen. This way I can clear the exclusive flag before the window closes, since it does not make sense to have an exclusive flag set on a closed window. Basically I set a window hook callback when window is closing.

I put a fix for this in my code see here. Note: this issue happens with both Star Trek Armada 1 and 2. The result is that both games crash on launch. Therefore there is no way to clear the exclusive flag or make any other window have exclusive access. If you try to clear the exclusive flag on the first window ddraw will not let you since the window no longer exists. At this point any call to make another window exclusive will fail, since ddraw still sees the first window as exclusive. In ddraw the exclusive flag remains set on the handle to window, even though the window does not exist. The issue happens when an application calls SetCooperativeLevel and set the exclusive flag on a particular window and then later the window closes without releasing the exclusive flag. Apparently it was introduced in Windows 8.0, and still exists in the latest version of Windows 10. A while ago I was troubleshooting the issue I found a bug in Microsoft's implementation of ddraw. I created a DirectDraw wrapper that allows me to intercept DirectX7 APIs.
The game was stuck at 640x480 resolution. Then once I got it to run I could not get it to run in high resolution.
The first problem I had with Star Trek Armada 1 was that it crashed when I tried to run it on Windows 10. I am using the retail CD version of Star Trek Armada 1 (upgraded to version 1.3)
