I just had my computer drive cleaned out and XP reinstalled. Then I reinstalled FS 2004 and put my saved files such as gauges aircraft ect. back in. Great! all went well except that even tho I get great Frame rates about 18-22, I say great because thats more than I got before, It just doesnt look like it when I'm flying. Its jerky. No matter how I set the settings it seems to make no differance. I'v noticed that the frame rates jump around big time and it takes a long time now for the GPS to respond when I use it. I installed DirectX9 but as you can see I don't think I'm getting use of it. My computer is a Dell Dimension with these Graphics.

You could try reinstalling the drivers for the Intel Graphics Chip. You could also try reinstalling FS. If that does not work, you could attempt to reinstall DirectX.

Thank you John. I'v downloaded it and am about to give it a try...It sounds like just the ticket!  Wildie.
