usually about once a day now CFS3 will crash. :'(  Ive looked in the troubleshooting stuff that comes up when i start it again but it didn't help 'cause apparently MS has never heard of a program crashing with no error message. ??? ???  Can anyone help??????????

Without more information, I can't help much.

Try doing a complete uninstall, reboot the system and do a complete reinstall.

Try closing programs running in the task bar to free up ram.

Update your video drivers, for Nvidia cards, versions 44.03 and 30.82 are the best.

Make sure system specs are above minimal requirements.

Tell us about your system specs, that may help.

Mines used to crash all the ime until I installed the patch.  Have you got the 1.1 patch installed yet?  If not, that'll be the problem... ;)

I have v1.1a installed on XP.  Think i might be low on virtual memory, cause i deleted everything in the backup folder(which contained 34MB worth of junk).  Worked well :) until I downloaded a few more third party A/C.   Then it started crashing again. :(   I'm only in 6th grade,  so I dunno what video card i have :-[(I'll tell you when I find out). Might try moving som of my 3rdparty aircvraft to another folder.
