Hi guys .. fresh meat here 
I played Stars many years ago and btw that was the killerapp force me to upgrade W3.11 to W95 (game crashes when i had few hundreds of ships). Some time passed and now, there are many improvements and I wanted to try them.
So I dn 2.7jrc3 and start playing. Well, crash after few rounds. No error message, no log, no nothing. I can't run the game again. Trying to kill some hidden service or find some kind of opened file, but only working thing was restart. I found this old thread: http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th=187 8&rid=&S=a933774a37668f914671c6a55e018642&pl_vie w=&start=0#msg_15734 which gives me some ideas. Win16 subsystem was maybe what i want to try to fix. I found patched dll, which should fix crashing, but i wasn't be able to install it ... dll is protected by system and when i tried that to fix (even from other OS), system allways delete new version and use original. Well, another step .. no sounds? That sounds good, but it didn't work. Last chance - safe mode ... and miracle happened ... i played about 6 hours without crash. Well then I restarted to normal mode and again, no problems .. WTF?
But I noticed another problem. When I started advanced game (no problem with normal) I can set any race to myself, but I allways get fully randomized race with predefined name. What I can do with that?
