move your save games that you want to keep (the unmodded ones). Uninstall freelancer. After the game is removed from your computer check the game files amd make sure that all filed were deleted during the uninstall. Reinstall and put your save games back and try again. Thats the price you have to pay for modding.... there is always a risk.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

Thanx hairfarmer. I've got the same prob so I'll try it. I've been trying everything. Cracks, Hacks, Patches, etc. Just one question. How sure are you that this works?

"Sure, as long as I don't get shot at, held at gunpoint, skewered by giant alien shapeshifters, have to jump out windows, fight off unfriendly nomad incubii"
