I have an Athlon at 550 mhz with 256 mb ram 20 gb HD, GeForce G3 Ti 200 pro with 64 mb, a Sound Blaster Live!, everything with the latest drivers, and when I try to start FL, the screen turns black, although sometimes I can get into the game and play it, with the maximum settings, and it plays very smoothly, I've tryied everything in the microsoft support page, and still no luck, I've reinstalled the game 3 times and nothing, I belive that the problem generates when I start the game and it plays the movies with the logos and the intro (to much for my computer), I've tryied to configure the freelancer.ini file in order to prevent this from happening, If anyone has the same problem or a solution, please help me!, I love this game, wanna play it all day, night long.
