Re: WOT: Error trying to run Stars!
You may want to try with compatibility mode i don't know where it is on XP(i use win 2000) but i know it exists, it seems to be some kind of bug. Maybe because you're using XP, but who knows...

Same place it is on Win2k after you enable support of the slayer.dll to enable compatibility modes. 
I second the recommendation of DosBox.

Re: WOT: Error trying to run Stars!
Compatability mode doesn't help, DosBox just says it needs windows.
Why would a program work one day and not the next?
I did register a .dll to get a homeworld modding tool working...Anyone know how to unregister a .dll?

Re: WOT: Error trying to run Stars!
It also works on our Win98 bootup, which means the problem probably is with XP.

Re: WOT: Error trying to run Stars!
NTVDM is apparently the "NT Virtual DOS Machine" or the 16bit (DOS) running part of Windows NT/XP. Random fact of the day No.7634
For a solution, has anyone ever got the system restore feature on windows to work? As in you actually have a problem and try to go back to a 'stored' version and it works? Not in a test but with an actual problem. I never have but I could just be unlucky.
If anyone has ever got it to work then give it a try. Failing that wipe anything you've installed recently, windows re-install might do it or try all the options in compatability mode.

Re: WOT: Error trying to run Stars!
to unregister an dll i think it's "regsvr32 /u [DLL path & file)" on a dos box.
