However, after a month ago of previously working, my Armada.exe crashed after executing.
Essentially, the screen would flicker on and off between my desktop and the Star Trek - Armada splash box at the center, before eventually going to the intro. But now it flickers back and forth a few times, but when the screen is black, instead of going to the intro it just returns to my desktop and Armada closes.
This isn't a compatibility issue, as I already was playing the game on windows compatibility for Windows XP (service pack 3), and Armada II works just fine under these settings. I managed to get task manager to write a dump file for Armada.exe just before it crashed. I viewed it, and this is what it said.

The wow64exts extension must be loaded to access 32-bit state.
.load wow64exts will do this if you haven't loaded it already.
