First, I need you to read the FSO FAQ, found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.0

Then I need you to post an fs2_open.log, instructions for this can be found in the FAQ.

windows 7
AMD Athlon II X2 215
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9200

It seems you do not have FS2 installed.

Code: [Select]

Found root pack 'i:\root.vp' with a checksum of 0x0c6bc78f
Found root pack 'i:\data\cbanim.vp' with a checksum of 0xfcae9a0f
Found root pack 'i:\data\freespace.vp' with a checksum of 0x0b518f95
Found root pack 'i:\data\voc.vp' with a checksum of 0xc67c8f48
Whatever these files are, they do not belong to any FS2 version or FSO-based total conversion I am familiar with.

[Colonol Dekker]

Hopefully it's installed in a different place or FSO was extracted to the wrong folder. . . . Otherwise.

[wolfeknight7]

FS2 works fine and the launcher is in the same folder as every thing thats needed, well thanks for your help im going to try reinstalling both FS2 and FSO in another folder thats empty and see if that works

um, those are the vps for FS1. Are you sure your FSO exes are in the FS2 folder?
