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.

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.

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')

Ok yep the only error I keep getting is "start location" in the FL spew file. I get it on Opensp only.
Any ideas?

Well the first problem was the wrong version of FLMM. It was the newer version which...for some reason didn't work. So the install went well. Now it crashes right when I attempt to start the game after hitting single player. Error seems to be with the commen.dll.

After looking at the error log.
Failure to get start position is the error. I have used Open SP option...maybe I should not?

Thank you sir for your help. I will try both. Weird error to get. I will post whether it works or not.

I have read the book posted here, and been through every forum post but even with the search function I can't seem to find anyone with this problem.

I get this error on FLMM when trying to turn on Crossfire.
"Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.70 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('x:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\spcontent.dll.flmmbak' to 'x:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\content.dll')

Fresh install. Every step followed. Even had 2 other people try just to be sure...same thing. Any ideas?
Something stupid>?
