Freelancer crashes just after intro...?? Help
Well... some may remember me, from long ago 
... I haven't played Freelancer for a few months... but decided to give it another blat during the holidays... however:
Unlike the last time I loaded Freelancer, this time it didn't run... I know it has been a few months, but I haven't changed any hardware or updated any system software bar driver updates while trying to fix this problem.
Just after the intro movie and the Freelancer intro static screen ie. when it should display the opening menu interface, the game crashes to Desktop and is no go.
Nothing has worked to fix it, absolutely nothing. In the post regarding the SDK above... someone mentioned the exact same problem, but I don't think the solution was one I hadn't tried already... so... I need some expert help to fix this ie. not MS! They haven't helped so far.
My only clue to an error is from the FLspew.txt file where same games would be under documents & settings;
...

If anyone can help me find a solution that will get Freelancer running again, and perhaps find a major error... I would be eternally greatful.
Thanks for your help in advance, and Happy Birthday Bargib *belated*
