Ok, as a techie i thought that i would never have to resort to this.
But i need help.
Ok i'm running the 1.4 beta version of fflm. I have the latest disco mod, and its trying to extract. infact, i have 2 of them. and both of them are causing problems. It unzips perfectly fine, then it gets to the end and says cannot unzip common.dll, access is denied.
If you are not comfortable removing all the security functions in Vista to run Freelancer i would recommend installing Windows XP in dual boot mode with Vista. Best of luck.
