Hi' there ! I'm having trouble installing FS 2002 Prof. in Win 98/2nd. Installation freezes in some of the big Scenery CAB's !! Anybody got a fix for this ???? Happy Landings Benny ================= Hello Benny-- I'm not one of those Microslut suckbutts you find yourself treated to at avsim and flt sim com, who say Microsoft and flt sim can do no wrong. If you disagree there, you get booted out the door. But I have to say in all fairness to microslut and flt sim that in your situation, the problem is with your computer, not FS2002. If your machine is in some manner of harmony, then fS2k2 should install and run fine. It did on my machine. I've since moved on to FS2004/fs9, and again, there are no problems such as you describe. This is not to excuse Microslut for the many deficiencies in both fs2002 + fs2004. There are plenty, but crashing, freezing etc is not part of how they operate. The reason I'm replying to your msg is cuz I, too, use win98se, so we are on the same wavelength here. Uninstall routines cause a lot of trouble many times. This is why Win Xp has thhis RESTORE feature, they call it, where you can revert your system back to another day when things were working well. This is cuz uninstallers frequently mess up your windows\system subdirectory, among other things. So the long and short of the matter, Benny, is if I were facing this problem, I'd just start from scratch. Put your important files on another HD, or burn them to a CD-R, being sure to check the WRITE VERIFY box in the burning software you use, if it has such a box. I use Nero, and you CAN WRITE VERIFY when burning a CD. Then you are sure of no mistakes. When you have safely backed up your precious data, just delete the whole partition, reformat your drive, create a new partition, and install Win98se, then instead of installing all the other junk you might have, make flt sim one of the first items you put back, but never forget that it doesn't matter if you have AMD or Intel CPU, you gotta install your chipset drivers VERY FIRST THING. AMD usually refers to these as the 4 and 1 drivers, or u;sed to. Intel calls it the Chipset Software Install Utility. The latest file I used was ""infinst_enu.zip"" from Intel's website. :You must install this first, so your chipset can talk to the other gizmos in your computer. If you have Intel CPU, then u install the Application Accellerator driver. Then DX8 or 9 update. Then you can start putting in your usual progs, including flt sim, but when you start installing progs before doing these other things, you upset the natural order of things, and wind up with a similar mess as u have now. ... So this is a long explanation to say that as much as I love to bash Microslut, and flt sim, flt sim is blameless for your situation. Hope this help. Mkie (jw-Missouri) |
