FS2002k/FSNavigator on new computer- help needed

[maskrider_01]

Hi Guys!

I am posting here because I need to tap into the expertise and experience that I always see around here.

I have been running FS2002 in tandem with FSNavigator 4.6 ever since I bought FS2002- a year or so ago.

I run it on a Pentium III 650MHz, 128RAM, 32VRAM Nvidia GeForce 2 MX on a Windows Me Platform.

Never had any problems with the FS2002/FSNav4.6 combo. In fact, I can't imagine running FS2002 without FSNav.

Anyway, I am currently playing around with a new computer that I am still deciding whether to buy or return- I got it at CompUSA and looking at a 15% restocking fee if I return it.

Its a HP a810n, Windows XP platform. Spec'd out as:

-3300+ AMD Athlon 64 (2.4 GHz, 256KB L2 Cache, 1600MHz System bus
-512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM memory
-160 GB hard drive
-DVD/CD RW
-CD Rom drive

It came off the shelf with Integrated SIS Mirage2 Graphics with 128MB shared video memory.

I upgraded this (I hope it was an upgrade!) to a ASYLUM 128MB AGP video card using GeForceMX 4000 chip set.

Downloaded and installed the very latest NVidia drivers for the card.

I am having some problems when I run and manuever around in FSNav- problems such as crashing to reboot and freeze ups. It doesn't always happen- and it seems that it may be related to how long I stay in the FSNav planning window. But I wouldn't swear to this.

FS2002 runs great- as long as I don't open up FSNav! Never had this problem before. I like a challenge as much as the next guy- but not sure that I want to spend too much time on this one-

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced such problems and if so, what the solution might be?

Thanks!

Chers,
Chris

Hi Chris....!
I have used FS Nav since it was first released for FS 2000/FS 2002 and FS 2004.
I occasionally have to re-install it whenever I format or replace my hard drive.
So maybe a fresh download and re-install, together with your key insert, may cure the problem...?

Give that a try... ...!

Cheers...!

Paul.

P.S. It is interesting to note that those very helpful yellow fuel pump markings are not included in the FS 2004 version...so enjoy the FS Nav, FS 2002 version... ...!
LOL...!

Hiya Paul,

Yep I tried redownloading, reinstalling and a reregistering the key. Nothing helped. Whatever the problem was it was a computer problem.

Note that I said was.

I took it back today and returned it. Didn't have to do the restocking fee either!

Cheers & thanks anyway,
Chris
