Received the follow messages:
1) Playing version 1.0 on Windows 2000, it works great. Speed is
wonderful and it hasn't crashed once.
2) Works fine.
3) it doesn't work at all on my system. Dual Celeron 450, 256MB PC100
Ram, TNT Viper550, Voodoo 2 12MB SLI
4) Runs ok, but sound and music stutter like crazy. PIII 700, Sound
Blaster Live with Liveware 3.0 and GeForce DDR
5) Runs in Win 2K on Geforce only at 640x480x16, crashes in any other
resolution.
6) you'll need to get the nvidia 5.13 drivers for correct DX-7 D3D
support for your nvidia card in order to play this correctly, otherwise
you're stuck at the 16 colors
7) Crashes in Win98, works at any resolution/color in Win2K 
[P3-504, 256RAM, GeForceDDR, 5.13 detonators] Do not push "ESC"!
Awesome game.
8) It works fine on an ATI Rage 128 (with the latest Win2K drivers from www.ati.com).
9) Runs using Win2k w/ Voodoo 3 2000 PCI :)

If run as XP native sound is trashed (SB A2 ZS, acceleration on or off), if run in W98 mode game speed crawls and cutscenes play at 1 fps.

Installed and worked perfectly on my laptop with XP. Seems that some video card/sound card combos are not subject to slowdown/glitch problems.

I've played this game on 4 separate computers, using both win 98 and XP and sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn't. The voice and effects sounds are almost always screwed (I've tried several different sound cards, most recently a sound blaster live 5.1), but the music generally works. The graphics worked ok on a geforce 4 mx 440, but they're completely screwed on my geforce 8600 GT. Even with the graphics on minimum settings it's unplayable. Cross your fingers depending on your hardware - best of luck trying to get it to work, even with the newest patch.

Hello

I want to play star trek armada recently, and I have problems. I think is solved it

So I try everything what you write,this is not a hyperthreading issue.I try to change compatibility mode,but didnot work also. When I trying things,once time it worked,I dont know why because later the problem comes up again.So i tried to reconstruct the parameters ,when it worked,and i wondered. When I opened an internet explorer window,minimized it and run the game it works normally. I tried 4 times again to be sure. I dont know how it possible,but it works.When I close the window it wrong again.I hope it dont depend on other parapeters,but i run it windows nt compatibility mode.

for the soundproblem: run dxdiag from startmenu/run and try to change hardware acceleration opinion. It works on basic acceleration.

Armada is one of my favorite games so I've tried to get it to run on my machines.

First, if you're running Windows 98/Me, the game works great.

Under XP, it works fine with garbled voice sounds.

Here's the problem - ARMADA doesn't like DirectX 9

I've tested the game under XP with and without DX9 and it freezes with bad pixels under DX9.

My suggestion is to uninstall DX9 or buy a video card that supports DX 8 and under.

Recommendations - Radeon 9000 or Geforce 2 Series cards.
