Well the first obvious thing to do is make sure your drivers are updated. If you drivers are updated and it still doesn't work try some third party drivers. I ran Freelancer fine on my 5200. Microsoft never patched the game so I can't suggest that.

A good place to ask for help is in the EFS forums. http://efs.proboards22.com/
Some of the best people I know online, all they do is play freelancer I am sure they can help you.

Well lame as it may sound my main fears are either downloading the wrong drivers or downloading bad 3rd party drivers.

I am redownloading the latest drivers from NVidia so I hope that helps. Oh and they did have a v1.1 patch

I don't know if this makes a difference but I have a Gforce FX5700 LE and I tried downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia but it screwed up my video.

Any ideas?

Update your DIRECT X driver from MICROSOFT. Should be 9c now I think.

I am running the latest Nvidia drivers (not that they have had any new drivers since 1777 or so) and seem to be ok with everything.

Freelance is a great game if you like flying around doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again. Get some of the community add-ons. Some of the ship packs are awsome.

LOL I played multi-player and tended to be the big evil Pirate

I tell you it's fun waiting for a clan cargo ship and it's escort and shutting down the lane on them then nailing both of them and snagging a few hundred gold to sell hehehe.
