Uninstall Freelancer (and remove the saved games)

Edit the registry to remove all traces of freelancer. Run a defrag, then renistall.

I had similar probs until i did that...

When you say remove saved games, do you mean multiplayer accounts aswell?
If so, can i then put them back after reinstallation?

Copy down your multiplayer ID. Either print it out or just use a pen and paper.

Start -> programs -> Microsoft Games -> Freelancer -> Examine my account ID.

Make sure you have this before you start wiping. Otherwise your MP characters will be lost forever.

After re-installing, select multiplayer, and, if the ID it generates is different to your old one, delete it and enter the old ID. All MP characters should remain (unless your unlucky enough for your fave MP server to crash at the same time)

If that doesnt work, may i suggest a hammer??
