Hi Pepperiot. I've seen this problem mentioned before but have never experienced it myself. I don't recall anyone with the problem confirming they fixed it or if they did fix it they didn't say how. It could be caused by something on your system or the way you have it set up. For example: not enough RAM, video card type & settings, correct drivers, version of DirectX etc. If you're using WinXP I've heard that installing various updates/service packs can affect FS2002. Lockups can also be caused by one or more applications running in the background. It's a good idea to shut down all unnecessary apps before a prolonged session in FS.

I hope this gives you some idea of where to look. I'm sure others will have their own suggestions.

PS. Some idea of your system specs would help.

Did you ever had this problem or it appeared suddenly? Have you checked your computer for viruses and spies? Try Adaware which is a very good program for finding and removing spies from your computer. It has live update finctionality and is freeware.
