Mikael,

Before we get too carried away, what are your computers specifications?
You'll need a modern processor, about 768 RAM and a good graphics card to
run FS2004....

I think his computer is good. If not, his folks will get a new one. He
already has a lot of educational games and they play just fine.

I can not think of a single "game" that requires more resources that FS2004.
I had to make a $700 upgrade to my computer to bring it up to FS2004s
standards.

My point is this, if his computer is 2 years old... you should find a copy
of FS2002 instead of FS2004.

Are you saying that it won't run at all on a 2 year old PC or that it
will underperform in some way (slow, fuzzy graphics, etc.)?

Unless it won't load, I'm inclined to install it and see what happens.
If it needs more horsepower, they can deal with that.

Thanks

For example: If the computer is a 2 year old Pentium 900 with an on board
64k graphics card... it will "run" but at a frame rate so slow that it will
effectively be "not running".

Most of us have 2.5+ Ghz processors and $300+ graphic accelerator cards.

Can you call and find out what the computer's specs are and post them here?

(See the thread I started: Would this run FS9?)

I called, but my daughter doesn't know. Is there a utility I can get
that she can run on the PC to display the specs?

(This is for WinXP I can only hope its the same for Win2000.)

Yeah, on WinXP she can got to Start-Settings-Control Panel-System

On the General tab she will find "Computer:" and the name and speed of the
processor along with the amount of installed RAM.

For the Graphics card Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Display-press
the Advanced button-Adapter tab

Or run dxdiag for adapter info.

Yes, my Win2K system has the System applet. I don't see where it sows
the processor speed or the graphics card or video memory.

There is a fs2002.exe in my fs2004 folder, i didn't execute this yet, but I
thought that fs2004 includes fs2002. I'm wrong?

Yep...

That fs2002.exe and fs2000.exe just start FS9. My guess is they are there
because some install programs search for them to install programs in the
right folder.
