Vista being absolute fail.

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

I have had the same troubles in the past with my own vista laptop.

You must allow User Access Control (run program as admin) for the following programs everytime you use them:

Freelancer
Freelancer Account Manager
Freelancer Mod Manager

So to install, you run the programs in admin rights, which ensures all the files are allowed to be copied onto your default hard drive (C:).

Run Freelancer setup with admin rights and install the game.

Download Discovery mod.

Run FLMM with admin rights and activate discovery.

Run freelancer with admin rights to play.

If playing 4.85 beta, you must also run the DSUpdate.exe file (the exe with auto updater) with admin rights.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To skip on right clicking on every program, you can right click on the program, click properties, click compatibility and check the box saying "Run as administrator". From now on, the program will run with admin rights after a prompt (Yes - no box).

If using AVG antivirus software on Vista, you must switch to another anti virus software. I personally use Avira, its free and works with vista. Good luck blunt!
