I've installed Freelancer, the newest version of the mod manager, and the newest Discovery. First of all, When I try to run the mod in mod manager, It gets about halfway there and stops, and says there was a problem activating it and says "Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe')".
I go to my normal Freelancer folder and I try to run it from there, and it launces Freelancer, and it appears to be normal Freelancer, no "Reunion 4.85". I run the multiplayer and I get a list of all the discovery servers, and I'm able to connect to all the servers. But when I go to create a new character it always tells me the name is taken. Names like "DwubbieLimpburtson". Yeah, that can't be taken.
So I've got these two problems that I think are probably related. I've already tried reinstalling these things numerous times. I'm running Vista, so I was thinking maybe its because of Vista's super retarded protection, but I've already turned off the Firewall and the Defender. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated:)

I had a similar problem, Cannon has a post in the forums about how to solve various problems, worth looking it up, it is pinned in the Tutorial & Support section. I sorted it by uninstalling everything and then installing Freelancer, the Mod Manager etc into my Documents and not into the program files which resolved the problem I had when I activated the Mod
