well, when i wish to take good qaulity screenshots, i have to turn my settings up in my graphic card, which is a Mobility Radeon 9000. however when i do, the computer turns off straight away, and this only happens when i select start flight, and dont know why..

all help is greatly and warmly appreciated,

thank you,

Isn't that an "integrated" video device?  If so, it is likely that you are turning up to setings that the card can't support.  And I think it uses shared RAM (which means it takes system RAM to run. SO if you don;t have a lot of RAM on board....... like maybe in a laptop..... and you are running XP...and you are running fs2004... and now your graphic card is trying to "steal" a bunch of RAM...... poof!

Just guessin .

best,
