...I remember sometime ago that I was unable to run Hopking on Warp 4.52 or eCS.

Is there a trick to make it run ?

Here it starts up but crashes soon after. And the option dialog displays some drawing problems. Looks like a driver issue to me. Maybe it would help to use a lower resolution / color depth. I'm running at 1600x1200x64k.

Alot (most) older DIVE applications will fail to run in high resolutions.  I have never tested the specifics of it, but I know when I upgraded to my 20"  1600x1200 monitor all older DIVE games stopped working in native resolution (1600x1200x16.7m)  (simcity 2000, hopkins fbi, the older stardock games) If I reverted it back down to 1024x768 it would work but would require a reboot.  At one point I meant to give it a looksy to see if I could patch dive in some way to function at the higher resolutions however I stopped running eCS when my machine suffered a fairly major failure.  However I am going to have some free time again to setup my older computer again and get back at it.   Give it a try using a lower resolution (color depth shouldn't really matter as long as it meets the games minimum requirements).

Best of luck to you.
