have you deleted your registry keys during the uninstall , before reinstall ?
I have to type this all the time, I should save a copy somehwhere.
Upon uninstalling , you must delete the resident directory ( folder) after a formal uninstall , and sometimes go as far as deleting the registry keys for 2142 and FS , before fresh reinstall.
this is sometimes required for just 2142, without FS.
Test 2142 1.5 to make very sure its working fine before taking the step of FS install.
If you dont know how to do the registry operation I will send you the procedure.
This is definitely the gamers bermuda-triangle as far as strange unexplainable phenomena.
but the effort is well worth it, ask others who didnt committ suicide before getting FS to work ...
