Freelancer Vista Issues

u should check this also.

OR you can set Internet Explorer to Work Offline [if you get connection errors]

"Component 'MSINET.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missiong or invalid"

can someone tell me what this means please?
it happens whenever i try to start crossfire

CF Guide, section "The Crossfire Launcher"

try "regsvr32 c:/program files/microsoft games/freelancer/exe/msinet.ocx" (adjust to ur path)

that doesnt seem to work at all, any other ideas?

try to install the complete Visual Basic 6 Runtime package: http://www.microsoft.com/downl…039D9BF629&displaylang=en

forgot to say it says that its not valid and to make sure the folder exists, does that mean anything?

follow the "Installation Instructions" in the CF Guide to a clean install. at least missing folders r not a good thing to have^^

u need to use 'run as an administrator' everytime u do something with the game, instalation or anything similar. it can be found on the right click list of options, when u right click on executable.

vista has big issues with admin permissions, since even default admin accounts do not have all the required permissions, especially folder and file ones.

vista sux bigtime!

I like the puppys Blaster

LOLOLOL i clicked run as admin like goodone said and it worked perfectly

I have one more little issue with the server, it shows there are people online but when i try to join it says the thing it usually does when the server crashes, is the server having trouble or is it something else?

try setting Microsoft Internet Explorer to work offline

it never seemed to have a problem before i got vista

Soooo other than getting a new virus protection what can i do about it?

My problem is in XP Pro. I've installed CF on my old machine (the same one I orginally played CF on with no problems). I can get on with no problems. Then after awhile I am dropped back to desk top. I've disable the 3D sound, checked my firewall/virus checker many times (McAfee) and clean installed three times.

I thought it might be (for me anyway) localized to Sovieta (pardon spelling) but after my last clean install I was able to get back to Gamma before I was dropped.

In most cases after being dropped back to the desktop I can not reenter the game or any FL server. It would seem that CFWD.exe is still running but not where I can access it and it does not show on the desk top.

I've had various messages like....CFWD.exe problem starting in Multiplayer [E-5] and E\FL\scratch\source\client\config.cpp (387) ***error unable to read freelancer config file (freelancer.ini)....the last was before the last clean install.

Any ideas? I'm going to try the offline with IE and see if that does anything.
