If anyone can get my disc 487 running again I will donate $20 to the funds. Is there something above which may force an none start. I have also noticed when trying to open Freelancer on its own I keep getting a please open this in administrator - I AM the admin!! When i open discv 487, I get the splash screen then it goes off and nothing; When I open Freelancer I get nothing at all. Finally I cant get Disc 487 to open full screen in my laptop.

But...we haven't been running 4.87 for a year or so now, dude.
Take a glance at the mod download page and re-read all of the information there not only about installing the mod but also the NET version and other little things regarding the subject.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

* re-enable DirectPlay (ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XYyGB-Tn3g)
* disable AVG, or uninstall it. (AVG is very bad, you got MSE with Win 10+ (Microsoft Security Essentials), don't need AVG anymore)
* Update your Graphics Driver (either via Device Manager, manufacturer site or whatever, just update it)
* Unless you have Visual Studio installed install: http://www.chip.de/downloads/All-in-One-...49838.html , it's german but anyways these are just runtimes
* uninstall discovery
* run a tool similar to ccleaner
* restart PC
* reinstall freelancer
* if you aren't bored enough restart PC then install Discovery to another drive then C:\
tl;dr: Your problem mainly goes down to installing Discovery in the drive C:\ (and the launcher... which we unfortunately can't deny)

I played 487 because I liked it, not because of any 'age' thing. Thanks for the link.
