I recently reformatted my computer and did a system rebuild. I haven't used XWA until the other day. XWA will start, and then three seconds later will freeze. I installed DirectX 8.1. And then it worked once. After I took it off suspend and ran it again, it didn't work. Same problem. I reinstalled XWA twice. I've figured out that it's not the program. It's something on my computer. I just got the AlliED full version yesterday and now I can't even use it because of this. X.X Help would be much appreciated.<P>~Matt

Have you made any missions yet? If you have, In the missions strings make sure there arn't too many gaps. I can't remember the amount you need. Also nif you installed an extra ship, make sure the it's the same for the shiplist down the problem. It happened to me after installed a couple of missions too.<P>------------------<BR>Heres my web page: <A HREF="http://www.freewebz.com/freelancermse" TARGET=_blank>www.freewebz.com/freelancermse</A> it's not much but i'm still building it.
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
