What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Old XP install Hard Drive, new 7 lappy... Should I just reinstall?

My laptop fried last week, and I was SO CLOSE to getting my own Delta Flyer. Last Saturday till Thursday basically I was computerless. The hd is actually fine, and I slapped it into a case to move old stuff onto my rather nice, graphics heavy brand spanking new Lenovo Compy 386 or whatever Strongbad used to call it.

I got onto STO once. New computer means new graphics settings, so I tried a few settings, and I got it down to a decent point where I can steer, no problem, but look onto the starscape & say, damn, that's nice!

But since doing that, I can't connect. Do I need to reinstall & let everything repatch? Or is copying my old lappy version & using that still okay?

I need to know soon, since if memory serves me, there's a few lizards that need to be put in their place. :cool:

    Just copying STO to the new laptop will work. The main thing doing the intial install is to be sure all the registry and directory permissions are correct and this is mainly for patching and will not affect connections.

    main thing affecting connectiosn. are
    if using win 7 or vista the launcher and gameclient exe are set to run as admin
    firewall and antivirus are set to allow both the launcher and gameclient net access
    firewall and router are set to allow ports 7000-7500
    IE browser is set to work online and is not set to use a proxy in the internet options, connection/communications tab, lan setting.
    Also if using teamviewer it is shut off.
