Well, that is a slight improvement. If you cannot launch the game, try changing options in the settings menu, or other things. More detail on my first post.
And I thought DX was supposed to take care of all these issues...
Some people have had success by renaming the sounds folder, something wrong with soundcards or something.

You too? And here I thought i'd have to hide under a bridge in shame for the rest of my life.

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

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.

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

Any way to answer back to the NPC ships? Like "Bite me" to pirates
