I have an pc now Intel 7i quad core with 16GB ram, hybrid C Dive and sata add on drives. I have an ATI R9 380 graphics card, and also an ATI graphics card on my win 10 laptop.

Is there something above which may force an none start. I have also noticed when trying to open Freelancer on its own I keep getting a please open this in administrator - I AM the admin!! When i open discv 487, I get the splash screen then it goes off and nothing; When I open Freelancer I get nothing at all. Finally I cant get Disc 487 to open full screen in my laptop.
