Yes my mom just got a massively stupendous computer. Except for the part where it comes with Vista and a bunch of programs we know little about.
However, all is well...for the most part. I can play Freelancer perfectly fine, but! I cannot connect to any server. The connection is being blocked by a program on the computer.
AND before anyone asks, yes this is using the administrator account, without user account control, windows defender is not online, neither is spy sweeper. McAffee has Freelancer as allowed on the firewall. So does anyone know of why FL would not be able to connect to a server? I can get the global server and the server list. I hit connect and I immediately get the message. "You cannot connect, server may be down, restarting" blah
Tank... I'll come over and fix it. I know the solution....
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

BFH, no one in my house is gonna let you near the comp.... You can still come over... But! Tell me how to fix the damned thing... I still have a great FL setup I just wanna use the 1900x1280 monitor and the 512MB Nvidia GeForce:cool:
Mcafee is evil. In every single post I've made about making FL compatible with Vista, the computer that hosts the network cannot have Mcafee, Norton, or Avast. Get AVG, or FL is gone..... Or you can just be unprotected...

Aha! Well the problem is fixed. All I got to do is, leave McAfee on but! Disable the firewall. And when I am done...turn it back on. And of course I can use the windows firewall. However my mom is evil and is trying to keep me from using the comp....
Use ZoneAlarm Firewall.... Free, but 10 times as good.
