  • Brand new install on new computer.
    Followed instructions and once I try to install Crossfire with the FLMM 1.31 I get the following error.
    Every time. The drive has 7 gigs on it so its not a space issue. It's windows XP and I am the administrator.


    SHCopyFile failed ('X:\program files\Freelancer Mod Manager 1.31\mods\Crossfire1.70\Data\Movies\Thumbs.db' to 'X:\program files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\Data\Movies\Thumbs.db')

  • you could try:


    1.Unistall the game+FLMM(and if she want's restart-restart your PC)
    2.Install the game(then copy the crack of course)
    3.Install FLMM 1.3
    4.Install the 1.7 Mod(in the dirictory of FLMM,only CF must to be active, all others mods to be deactiveted)
    5.Install Patch 1.7a(Multiplayer) and wait for the "updates" to download , when the Multiplayer Button is active after the updates downloaded,go in the server and enjoy

  • Exactly what I did. Now not once but twice. Always the same error. No other mods no nothing. Just refuses to copy that thumbnails file. Tried an install to C drive...same darn thing.

  • Odd as it may seem, the instructions in the CF Guide will work, but sometimes the procedure has to be followed more than once. I had it working once without even recognizing it... :rolleyes: Just search the forum for the CF Guide, and follow it exactly!

  • Works.
    I have no idea why. I just kept trying to install it and it randomly...works...I am confused but I at least get to play.

  • did you delete the leftover files after you unstalled it?
    and get (CC cleaner ) to clean up your registry just in case something there is conflicting with it.
    and make sure your download ant corrupted.
    an idea:)

  • re-installing or uninstalling often does not help since some files remain in the FL directory (often write protected due to FLMM)
    to delete the directory via explorer is the best you can do

  • there is one prob i encounted (not a biggey:P ) after you unstall CF then you put a fresh install of freelancer with the extras wiped out, (leftover files etc...) that the FL CF icon comes back in a day or a week when CF is not present.


    a mistory yet to be solved:P

  • not a mystery


    Win does load the icons of a file once per session and keeps them in memory


    when you delete FL (or uninstall it) the freelancer.exe is gone and a new one gets installed (with original FL icon)
    when you now install CF windows still thinks the freelancer.exe is original and therefore takes the icon from the memory instead reloading the icon from the file


    with the next start of windows it has to load the icon again... and since its CF now it loads the new icon
    pure logic behind it... no bug
