first of all what OS are you running? if its win XP run it in 98 compatibility mode by right clicking on the desktop shortcut and selecting properties then its in one of the submenus, also disable the 3rd sound in the game options menu if its enabled

Download the win xp updates, cause I had the same problem and I solved it with the updates. Your mission probably freezes at the end of the level when the capitol ship comes flying in (can't remember it's name anymore). There's a update that secially fixes a problem with cutscenes in games, and as i said it helped for me...

Btw hi everybody, my second post here

what kinda computer specs u got ? it shouldnt matter much, but still to be on the safe side . . . mb thers a specific scratch on ur cd. it happened with my red alert 2 discs. cd 2 is only for install, and no game, cd 1 is only for games and no install. both should do both things, but they are scratched weird. mb thats the prob. try skippping, go to the main page and look 4 cheats or codes. it says some complicated stuff, and if u can follow, mb u can skip teh third mission. i tell u ,teh third one was tedious 4 me. i wont spoil it 4 u then.

A common fix for freezes:

It might be that you have some editing tools installed for starlancer like SLEdit, and that you have used it to switch ships, either ships of your wingmen or other ships that are important in the mission, if this is so unswitch all ships.

If you havnt installed any of these tools you could just try reinstalling SL, this fixes most of the crashes and bugs

Also try this: disable EAX in the sound options menu thingy, this causes about 60%+ of all the problems
