Trouble Starting Server

Ok, I’m trying to get my server going again and am coming up with this message (bottom) after several fresh installs;

What’s going on here? Help!

You made the picture so good that I accidently pressed the “OK” botton on the message!
About the problem: Did you launch Freelancer from the original EXE or from a shortcut? If it was from a shortcut - delete it and create a new one (if it doesn’t work refer to the 2nd option). If it was from the original EXE - maby the DLL has some broken part in it, so you’ll have to listen to the message and reinstall FL.
I hope it helped!

Edit: I just noticed that theres a “launchgame.exe”, which I don’t have, and seems to belong to another game. Can you explain please what is it doing there?

I think this is the AutoIt-icon… maybe a simple updater or lancher or…

Check dalib.dll and flserver.exe by Dependency Walker and try to rename dalib.dll file with small letters.

try launching the program “as administrator”.

I’ve never used the technique on WinXP, does it help…?

Does XP have it? It usually works with most programs/games having an error, mostly built for XP.

Gisteron

xp hasn’t it. didn’t think you’re an XP user, too. they’re really becoming more and more rare nowadays.

PolarBear

Yeah, since Windows7 is better, everybody has it now!

All taken care of and sorry for the really, really late reply. I fail to see this listed on my Message area because of all the other items on the list. Thanks for the replies. It’s all good now and for the time it’s taken me to reply, I forgot what I done to fix it.

Thanks again and yes, I’m still and XP user.
