Just getting going I can't launch. Created exe. file with games\FreeSpace\fs2_open_3_6_9.exe. Did the open al fix, I read in sticky. Deleted openal 1.0 files deleted next two. Then got a new openal download reinstalled. Same results, I get an over enlarged intro space screen . Like I'm on super low resolution and zoomed in some. Here is the first part of the error and my system. I have been looking for the answer for some time.

Did you try running it via the Launcher, and not the freespace exe itself?

The first time I just hit run and it did the same thing. I guess I have only tried to open it through launcher. If I open the the old launcher "icon in the freespace folder" it looks like the original will start. I just filled exe. box like it said to when things didn't work. Then click run after that.
By the way I'm posting in the wrong area. Should I be posting in general discussions.

Use the new Launcher. The one called Launcher.exe. Nothing good can come from trying to run the FSO executables with the retail launcher.

General Discussion is for discussion that doesn't belong to any of the other boards. This qualifies as Support discussion, so perhaps this should be moved to the Suport board.
