Start Failure.

Postby eno » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:25 am

Here's a one to ponder for you.

I click on the shortcut for FS9 ...... the splash screen comes up ....... then NOTHING. It stalls on the splash screen.

I've deleted the FS9cfg same result. I've uninstalled the last installs.. same result. No spyware or viruses... or registry problems.
Its almost a clean install since my reformat a few weeks ago with no problems untill last night.

Any ideas/help most appreciated

cheers

How long do you wait for? It takes about 5 minutes for mine to come up after the splash screen, but then again my computer is fairly slow.

the same thing happens to me, I think it has to do with the version. You have to make sure all the aircraft are compatible with the version of your game. Its maybe because you downloaded an aircraft recently?

If not, when on splash page, put your mouse over the splash page. (just try it)
