Hi,

Thanks for that. I have told him what to do. Does this mean he will be able
to klick the sliders on ALL the graphics features in FS9 again ?

Cheers

Derek

2, MORE IMPORTANTLY....

He is a keen fan of FS2004, and having now got his new upgraded PC, set

to install it for the first time, under my supervision. Having

"succesfully
installed FS2004", he boots it up and finds ALL MANNER OF PROBS.....the

main
one being that FS2004 refuses to acknowledge he has a all bells and

whistles
graphics card (Radeon Pro9700), and "greys out" all the options to

increase
hardrware settings, like, Bi-Linear Filtering, Water Textures, and many

many
others. Also the graphics on launching FS2004 are pathetic, and it jerks

all
over the place !!!


Find and delete 'FS9.CFG' (drive C, then load FS9 again. It'll
create a new fs9.cfg file, and 'should' fix the graphics problem.

All old graphics settings, and custom key-assingments (joystick too)
will be lost.

Might type-in 'dxdiag' from the 'Run' menu, and check the 'Display'
properties, make sure the video card is installed correctly.
