The case of the crashing demo...

Ok, when I am on the menu screen looking at my available planes and taking thumbnails, the demo will crash and I will get a message saying my computer has run out of available memory.

The memory leak problem is a known issue and has been addressed for the final version.

It has been discussed on here a lot, but try to get rid of the partitions as it will make it run slower.

If possible it will be best if installed on the same drive as the operating system and that the drive that has the OS and FSX on has NO partitions.

Try to keep this drive from going over 50-60% full to, this will ensure your drive is working at its optimum, anymore and it will gradually get slower and slower.
