I'm using a GeForce2MX vidio card on an older "y2k safe" asus mother.  I get all kinds of "oops-freese" crud. The movie is very nice, but I want to fly!! Ahhhh....

I too was able to see the Movie but unable to fly cause of corrupted graphics and crashing problems.

I fixed it by disabling Antialiasing from within the Graphics Card settings dialogue.

??? Okay, here's what's happened.  First, I managed to install the game finally after two days, but lots of problems started with my computer afterwards too.  I get a box that comes up with, "you have performed an illegal operation"...or the computer freezes or just acts weird.  Secondly, I ended up uninstalling it to see if that would make a difference and then tried installing it again..but I can't now. >:(  Finally, another thing is that when I put the cd into the drive, if it doesn't work or nothing happens after I put the cd in, I can't even take it out unless I turn off the pc and turn it back on..anyone know what I am talking about?? Three days later and no flying still.. :-/  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :-*

By the way, I have Win 98..

Smoke_On_Go, how do you disable Antialiasing within the graphics card settings dialogue?

Upgrade your video card and CPU. Formatting and clean installing Win98 is always a good thing to do every once in awhile. You need to keep your computer maintained.

Except for a video card driver update, CFS3 has worked just as advertised for me right out of the box. No tweaking ever needed. I feel bad for you guys as I can feel the frustration through my monitor. :'(
