It's not appearing properly on your setup.  You might double check your display settings and how they mesh with pcaviator's recommended setting.

I just received my copy as well.  What I didn't notice about the ads was it comes on a DVD.:-[

So I bought  a DVD-ROM drive. But then I encountered an error during installation because I was installing onto a FAT32 drive.???

So I installed onto a slower NTFS drive that I have and it took FS 10 minutes to load the scenery.>:(

I have completed converting my games drive to NTFS and am currently installing MS-PNW onto it.

Yea, It does slow FS down when loading it..... But its overall good, it said in the instructions that it had to be on XP (for all seasons) and a certain HD type, I'd go into more but I am running late for school, Cheers, Gunny

I now have it installed onto a SATA, NTFS drive and it still takes 12min 42sec to load. I find that unacceptable.

I didn't notice much of a slowdown on startup.  I did notice really insane load times with the horizon simulations San Fran though.

The Makers of Megascenery told me to disable file indexing and to make sure the cluster size is 4096 instead of the default 512. Guess I'll try that.

Gunny04,

My buddy has squares on his snow areas as well so It's not the GPU.
