Right click the STO desktop icon (launcher) and Run as administrator
When the launcher is minimized in the task bar, go to task manager, applications, select the STO application and click on Switch To.
well that almost worked for me. I was able to see the log in screen and even log in but it just hangs when trying to patch.
Make sure Star Trek Online.exe and GameClient.exe are allowed outbound on any antivirus / antispyware / application firewall / software firewall you have installed on the PC.
The game will need TCP 80, 443, 7000 through 7500 outbound on your PC, router / modem. and ISP.
Firewalls - if you run a software firewall (Zonealarm, Norton, McAfee, etc) or are behind a hardware firewall (Linksys router, CheckPoint, Cisco ASA, etc) make sure Star Trek Online.exe and GameClient.exe are allowed to connect to the Internet and your PC can connect outbound on the ports STO needs.
The game will need outbound TCP 80, 443, and 7000 through 7500 open. Note: All connections are TCP based from your PC to Cryptic so you do not need to port forward on your router.
The Cryptic data center IPs you'll connect to on TCP 7000 - 7500 are 208.95.184.01 through 208.95.187.254. The proxy servers are outside of this range.
