and will shut down! Or in my PC's case freeze me out totaly! Any Ideas why? It seems to be beyond all ctrl alt del help, so I restart.
Thanks, Dan

Most likely an addon. I had the same problem when checking out an aircraft in FS2002 this afternoon. It was fine when I installed all the files properly.

If you can't figure out the problem a full uninstall/install might be the only way to fix it. If you have enough HD space a duplicate install would be better.

Remember to delete all the files though, FS2002 won't remove any addons when you uninstall for the re-install, and it kinda ruins the whole point if you leave them there then install again huh?

Sorry. This is what I meant by a "full" uninstall/install. Doing this without deleting the FS2002 directory after Uninstall is complete would usually be called a Reinstall. Maybe I could have explained it better.

The duplicate install is still the better option providing you have enough HD space.

No it was my idiocy. Sorry. But yep, you got the space do a duplicate.

I just remebered, this started happening with CFS1, just the same!  ???  :o  :-/  :(

My Windows '98 gets a little confused at times over all sorts of things, and comes up with that report... ...!
I find that a shut-down followed by a re-boot does the trick, and '98 is happy again... ...!
...for a while... ...!
LOL...!

Cheers... ...!

Paul.

P.S. ..It never seems to be anything serious... ...!

Have you changed, updated or installed anything recently? Maybe you have a virus.

I forgot to say - the mouse locks as well.

What was the plane Doug?

On the subject of a virus, I don't run virus software as I can't afford the d**n stuff. If I go to IP chicken http://www.ipchicken.com/ I get told my IP, and beneath

Any Ideas?

Woot! Go Windows 98! I know this is like waaayyyy off subject and has no point in being here, but have you guys seen that video of Bill Gates on Oprah I think it was, he was trying to give a demo (this is when '98 was brand new) and it crashed on him? That's some funny crap man.
