Keeps crashing

[Saitek]

Just got the sim. It's cool, but without warning every now and again crashes to the desktop. It installed fine. :-/

P.S and it leaves all my desktop massively chunky which means I have to restart the 'puter.

Yup.

Greystone, follow this link and pay attention to what Potoroo says. It's a known issue with dual cores apparently, he's posted the fix.

Woodlouse-- Many thanks for the tip.  I installed the AMD driver but the Optimizer Install Shield Wizard kept asking me if I wanted to remove it.  Perhaps it was included in the driver package?  Dunno.  We'll see if this makes a difference and cuts out the crashes.  I'll post results here.
