| 197632 | 2003-12-13 08:20:00 | No luck so far! It is a GeForce 4 card (so the box says) MX 440 . I have loaded DirectX 9b . I have started with the minimum MS config settings as suggested . Still have this strange seizing up after about 10 mins of normal operation . The only thing I notice is that the large FS 2004 icon is half off the screen to the right at initial loading . Is it possible to make a boot disk as we used to in Windows / MS-DOS days?! |

You can run older programs in "compatibility mode" in Win XP if they are playing up but this will not be of any use in your case because it is not an old game . Flight Sim 2004 would be pretty greedy hardware-wise I would have thought - maybe your computer is not quite up to it?? I know it says minimum processor of 450 MHz is sufficient but MS are notorious for "recommending" very low specs . How much RAM have you got? |

| 197634 | 2003-12-15 12:13:00 | try another graphic card if possible one higher than the MX series which are worse than the geforce 3 by the way dont be fooled by the marketing as 4 cards . | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 197635 | 2003-12-15 12:22:00 | Gee, it sounds like a hardware issue. Perhaps the heatsink isn't fixed properly to the cpu or the cpu fan isn't running? Maybe It appears that maybe you're not too familiar with puters, so if you play around with the insides do check the anti-static precautions advised previously in this forum... search the FAQ's if required. |
