Can run FS2004

**jchappell** · 06-03-2004, 01:05 PM

I can't get past the Splash Screen for FS2004. It displays a message saying it is converting scenery, and then the program stops responding.

I have a Pentium III with FX5200 PCI card and latest driver. I have reloaded FS2004 twice, gotten rid of all non-required resident processes, and still no success. Any suggestions (other than buy a new PC?)

when you reloaded FS did you first do a search for ANY components left behind from the uninstal?? check your my documents for files in there before reinstalling and your program files etc. Uninstall doesn't clean EVERYTHING out

Had same problem when I removed and reinstalled FS9 myself. A small work-around with FS installed is put in Disk One and click on the WEB button which will send you to FS9 support. There it gives u about eight or so fixes for this problem..I found the last one on the list where u change a config setting for "show movie" from a 1 to a 0 allowed me to get up and running, however, on start up the game takes u directly to the default aircraft sitting on a runnway. I can't get it to start at the 2 D screen for "create a flight",or 3 D viewing of your aircraft and I dont see any scenery settings button that takes u to the scenery listing where u can add or delete scenery. I'm going to upgrade my Win Media Player next and try a reinstall again. I think it got corrupted and u have to have it to run FS 9.
