I've had no problems from the get-go. Here are my system specs:

Asus Motherboard
AMD 1.4 Ghz
256 MB
ATI Radeon w/128MB
Sound BLaster Live 5.1
USB (4 Devices Plugged in- MS IntelliExplorer 3 Mouse, Iomega Zip Drive, Nostromo Game Pad, Pocket PC)
WinXP Pro

David Gervais makes a good point to make sure nothing is running in the background which could interfere with Starfury. Antivirus Programs and Firewalls have a nasty habit of causing software conflicts for no apparent reason and at random moments. Of course, making sure your audio & video drivers are up to date should be done first.

One note on the freezing game. When it freezes and you alt-tab out and back in - the graphics become messed up BUT if you wait for a few minutes it unfreezes and the graphics are the same as before, i.e. not messed up. Probably this is my system's fault and I predict a full reinstall http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I have never had any problems arise from running the SF beta with both Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall running in the background.

SF has always had problems with alt-tabbing. Either run the game in windowed mode, or do not alt-tab. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

alt-tabbing was used just to check whether the game or the computer hung. I also have both Nortons running on my system.
Because of that obligatory pause I started smoking more http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Are high scores available in the demo? It has always been greyed out and I haven't been able to open it up. But when I die it says I set a new high score, but it is still greyed out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">From what I've gathered, there is no way you can communicate with anybody, or any ships, other than your contact at Freeport. But I think we're all hoping for some real communication sometime soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Also, the latest patch addresses this as well.
