Welcome to TLR!

Good to hear that people still play Starlancer!
Try turning of EAX in the "sound menu". That should do the trick.

I'm not sure about this but I got a (not so) newer sys and after PC restart the game stoped crashing.
i havn't played this game sinse.....a long long time ago. I just saw the demo while browsing for a possible FL Mod of S:AAB and it got me right back in. Gonna finish the game a couple of times then it'll be out of my system again.
I'm surpriced that the game still looks good, not great but good. But the gameplay is still top class. to bad they never released the addons / sequells to this.

If the Earth would be a Sphere, and not a Disc, I wouldn't be so affraid to fall of the Edge...

The previously posted topic referes to intermitant crashes. My software crashes on startup every time.

This could be a clue. When I do anything with the Starlancer CD I get this error:

The procedure entry point setupapi.CM_Set_HW_Prof_FlagsA could not be located in the dynamic link library CFGMGR32.dll

The odd things is that after hitting ok I can still use the CD, I can install the game, read text files on the disk ect, but when ever I use anything on the disk I get that error.

I tried full-installing the game, and standard install, it made no diffrent. When the game crashes it doesn't give me an error message, just the generic "this program crashed" windows message.
