Ok,this has me stumped. The game has run just fine up till today. When I started the game this morning,I got a "Freelancer can't be found " error message. I re-install the game and it runs, no prob. I take a break for lunch,shut down my computer and when I come back-same thing. I again re-install everything-and it runs. This time,I load a game,run one mish,save and quit. After restarting my computer, the game won't load.OK-THIS time,after re-installing/patching etc,I make a backup copy of the Fr…

Thanks,gents-I'll check my scanner settings. I have had PC Doc issues with games before but not quite like this.

All right I check my quaratine to see if anything is there.Nada. So,I decide to try another mod and see if it happens again. I load up Frontier Space and the same danged thing happens. HOWEVER,this time,I can see a Freelancer.exe sitting in the game directory. It's like the game doesn't recognize it or something.

The EXE file in the game dir is tiny,compared to the one on the cd-rom.

Fixed! It WAS the damnable anti-virus. It was deleting,not quarantining the EXE. Didn't give me any notice at all,either.

I just now found it-my bad. It would have saved me a LOT of hair pulling.....

Ok-I go home yesterday and it's down again. I DID keep a back-up .exe,so no re-install,at least. Checked my AV settings-no changes there. Then it hits me-the icon on the Freelancer.exe (the Crossfire thingie) is gone. I think that's why I thought the .exe file was getting deleted in the first place. So,to verify it-I start the game with the back-up .exe-no probs. I restart my computer and after the re-boot,open the game dir.Sure as heck,the icon on the .exe file is gone. I replace it again,run m…
