What are you computer specs? Have you installed Vista's sp1? And fsx sp1 and sp2? Have you updated the video card driver?

There seems to be a lot of people having this problem:

with IE7:

The IE7 cure seems to be to disable addons in IE7.

And with FSX:

One person with Fsdiscover and FSX found that there is an update for Fsdiscover that takes care of the problem.

I'm sorry I would look more closely but it's been a long day and having a hard time staying awake...zzzz

If anyone has found the solution to this problem let us know. Your computer specs are great, it's a very capable computer.

Did a reinstall without service pack 2 and installed accelleration expansion pack. Works now but if i save my setttings it hangs again?



Thanks for the help.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. This looks like a common problem that needs a patch, I wonder if Microsoft has responded to this problem?

If you are still having problems, consider backing up your data, then erase the hard drive and do a complete reinstall from scratch.
