I found my long lost Freelancer game today, so I figured I'd install it and play it for a little while. So I install it without having any problems, but I when I start it up, nothing happens. I check in my TS and I see it running in the background, yet nothing is going on. Any ideas what I should do?

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition
System Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
System Model: MacBookPro3,1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPUs)

Page File: 762MB used, 3160MB available
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.5512 32bit Unicode

    Have you made sure to download and install any patches or point releases for the game?

    Installed the 1.4 unofficial patch after it didn't work, still having the same problem.

    I figured out what's wrong, my firewall Online Armor kept automatically blocking the program because how old Freelancer is and doesn't recongize it's actual operating program.
