Better make it common knowledge.

Microsoft never finished many aspects of this game, most noteably the weapons groups and 3D sound. The 3D sound engine itself causes failures and instability in a select few machines that seem to be a random choice. Turn it off, and all will be well.

Haven't had to use this, 3D sound is good for me, but it is definately a bug with the engine itself causing that. If it still doesn't solve your problems, I can only say... reformat your hard drive! Which is pretty extreme for Freelancer, so I hope disabling 3D sound works for you.:)
