Disappointing/Frustrating

Thanks.
The computer freezes up with any aircraft and then displays:
"Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure.
Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality"
[OK]

Reboots and computer works fine but FS2004 will crash again.

On the CDRom being in the drive, I was hoping to install and file it away
like all my other software.

Thanks for your feedback

Re the CD - do a search for the NoCD patch - you'll be able to run w/o
having it in the drive.

Update ALL your video and Mobo drivers. BTW, what mobo, cpu, videocard, ram,
etc. All make a difference

Basically a decent system but the Intel graphics won't really handle fs2004.
Also, IIRC, the onboard video steals processor time. Have you tried
disabling the OB intel video and testing FS just using the ATI?

I would definitely get to the Intel site and update your bios and any other
mobo drivers you find there.

HTH,

Vic,
I ran the updates and FS2004 runs fine now.
The DC3 is sweet.

Thanks again.

How good does your ATi Radeon 9200 work? I'm interested it. Is it a 9200SE?
And does it have 128MB or 64MB. Sorry for the lot of questions.

Thanx,
jkb
