  • MSINET problem

    Ah yes of course!


    Now of course, FL has the ocx error, so I will try to register it now.


    EDIT: Ok, now Freelancer doesnt work, with or without the mod.


    I registered the ocx file, which was successful, but I continue to get the same error.

  • MSINET problem

    Alright, I tried to reinstall everything again, as was suggested, but under a simple one word filename.


    THat was working fine, excpet that the Crossfire mod itself says there is an error after installing to the new path where the FLMM is, and the MM say the mod won't properly activate, and that it had trouble inspecting one of the mods.


    Also, thanks for the 'run as administrator' setting idea. While nice in theory, it does nothing to help with this situation.


    I have gotten Vista to work with every other game before, this is the one that has given me the most trouble.


    EDIT: By the way, Freelancer now works fine, although it hasn't been touched by mods at all, this after just a fresh install.


    I assume once I install the mods, I will have the same trouble as before.


    I havent even regsvr32 the ocx yet.

  • MSINET problem

    Hello all,


    First I want to thank you all in advance for taking the time to read this and hopefully propose a solution to my problem.


    After having Freelancer for years, and only now deciding to play again, I did some research and found that the Crossfire server seemed to suit me best.


    First, my setup.


    AMD Phenom
    ATI Radeon 1900xtx
    4GB RAM
    Vista home 32



    I followed the instalation instructions presented in the guide, twice even, but I continue to get the same error.


    The infamous MSINET.OCX is missing etc.


    I read on several websites, including this one, that I need to register the file. Doing so in my Win32 file 'succedes' but the game still wont run. (this seems to be a common Vista problem)


    Attempting to register the file in the Freelancer\exe folder gets me this:


    "The 'C:\Program' failed to load
    Make sure the binary is stored etc.


    The specified module cannot be found.


    So I tried downloading and installing Visual Basic 6, then reinstalled the MM and Frelancer, with the same resualts.


    Any help with this would be appreciated, and again, thank you for your time.
