Postby davidoso » Mon Jul 05, 2004 4:01 pm

After installing FS2002 Professional Edition and receiving "successful installation" messages I double click on the desktop icon but all I get is the opening screen "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Professional Edition" with the B747 and then the program won't start;what is wrong and what can I do?;thank you for your help.

Quite often, with a new installation of FS, the problem lies in incompatible system drivers. In particular, older graphics adapter drivers not being Direct-X 8 compatible.

To check, run the Direct-x Diagnostic utility to see if your GA is up to snuff.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Hi David...!
How long have you waited after double-clicking the Icon...?
It often takes a while for the program to load-up all the files, scenery, textures, etc...!
After a while a progress bar will appear across the screen...
Have a look at your hard drive light...if it's flickering then the program is loading...!

Cheers...!
