Post Installation Notes for FreeSpace Open 3.6.10 (unofficial) Windows Executiables
You'll need OpenAL to play the game. You can get Open AL here
http://www.openal.org/downloads.htm
You will also need to run the applicaiton launcher.ese in the folder you just installed to. once it opens make sure the bot at the top says <The Folder You Installed to> \fs2_open_3.6.9.exe.

And what is the Mindspring Directory for internet services doing in the install when complete? Can i delete it, as I dont lilke unknown services appearing in my system? thanks

Your initial post seems to be all over the place. Are you installing FreeSpace on a Windows machine? If so, OpenAL link in my signature. If not, follow the link provided by bfobar.

And what is the Mindspring Directory for internet services doing in the install when complete? Can i delete it, as I dont lilke unknown services appearing in my system?

As insane as I am, I did a search on the forums with the word "mindspring". Most results imply that it is something old and obsolete, originating from the retail era. I wouldn't call it a "service". You can remove it. It won't do anything.

Both the Mindspring and Ereg folders can be safely deleted.

Stuff to register for ISPs and registration with Interplay IIRC.
