false start

Somebody help!!!
I have installed Freelancer, but when I try to start it from any point (cd,desktop,program file) it gives me the hourglass for 1 second and stops... nothing else happens!! I'm running Windows XP home if that helps at all. I've got more than what's recommended for running this game. Anyone got any ideas??

I realized that I left out an important detail...
I load the game and it works great!!! prefect sounds, graphics, etc.. But if I restart my computer, then the problem starts!!!

Don't restart

So, you only played it once?

does it hang? or does it crash?

Oh, before I forget, sometimes Direct-X 9.0 causes some problems. Install the update, 9.0b I believe, it might solve the prob

I'll hit the exe and I'll see an hourglass for a second... and then nothing... no hangup. no nothing... It's as if I didn't start it!!

I do have Direct-X 9b

I'm dying here!!!

I have win-XP-home also, so tha ain't the prob.

can't this be a video-driver prob, as the animations start up first. or a sound prob.
I'm just sugesting here. I have absolutely now experiance with this, so I hope someone else comes along to help you.

maybe you need to format your computer.

yea we are just running the usual fixes here with you. I think it may be that when you restart somthing isn't initalised properply. Check your graphics drivers as nickless said.
