Slowdown problem

This is no doubt a self-inflicted problem.

When you get the error message that you are out of virtual memory, do a re-install. Worked for me when it happened to me. Just have a cold six-pack of your favorite adult beverage, a big bag of Doritos and a big bottle of salsa right there. It will help to get you through...

May just comply with the second part of your suggestion and look at the computer tomorrow  .

Things seemed to go downhill after I got this wild hair and downloaded "cloud9 LAX".

if you updated your video driver, try rolling it back a version or 2. and see how that helps.

also, If i could recommend, download CCleaner and do a registry scan, as well as basic scan and remove all that it finds.   Then reboot and do a COMPLETE SYSTEM DEFRAG ----- ALL HDD's!!


after you have tried these, {i dont know if you have followed Nicks XP/FSX Tweeks}, but I would go through Nick's FSX/XP tweeks.


Disclaimer:: sorry nick, i do not have the O&O Defrager...... But I did follow nick's advice for the rest of it and I for one do notice my whole computer including FS9 running a lot faster.

Have done all that you suggested, even the O&O allnighter.

dirt, get Revo Uninstaller. It's a freebie. It's far better than the default trasher in Windows. Revo gets everything. I uninstalled a bunch of airplanes out of FSX with the one inside Control Panel. Then I went back and used Revo. It got 703 more pieces of those deleted airplanes. I will never use the default uninstaller again...
