Joe Mifsud 928114 Posted November 18, 2005 at 11:50 PM Posted November 18, 2005 at 11:50 PM Arg! Every time I begin to taxi in FS it freezes on me. I disabled my Virus/Firewall software and it worked once, then stopped working again. I have no idea what it is, and unfortunatly I miss alot of flyins because of it! Theres nothing really werid about this computer except that every 10 minutes(give or take a few) the active window will just become unactive out of nowhere. Anyone know why FS keeps freezing on me? Thanks alot, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Reichheld 893822 Posted November 19, 2005 at 01:18 AM Posted November 19, 2005 at 01:18 AM Try uninstalling it and reloading FS and try again. Its all down to process of elimination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Moir 844817 Posted November 19, 2005 at 01:48 AM Posted November 19, 2005 at 01:48 AM Hello Joe , If you could give us your computer specs , that would be helpful. This could be a hardware issue ( RAM , CPU , GPU) , or maybe something as simple as heat . What settings are you running ? If they are set too high for your system , this could cause the problem you describe. Ross Moir Taxiway ALPHA Landing Expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mifsud 928114 Posted November 19, 2005 at 03:54 AM Author Posted November 19, 2005 at 03:54 AM 2.8Ghz 512mb RAM Intel Pentium 4 80gb harddrive ATI RADION 9550 256mb Graphics Card The settings were originally maxed out, but I put them all down to low and it still froze up. I'm guessing I'll have to reinstall FS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Moir 844817 Posted November 19, 2005 at 05:10 AM Posted November 19, 2005 at 05:10 AM Thanks for that Joe , FS should run OK with those specs , and if reducing your display settings hasnt fixed the problem , we need to look further into it . Do you heve similar problems with any other applications ? Does it only happen at one airport/position , or at any airport? Have you tried uninstalling FSP[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers , and tried to reproduce the problem ? It would also be worth your while to go into your tower , and make sure that all of the fans and heatsinks are clean and free of dust. If they are dirty , use a soft brush to clean them , if they are clogged with dust , they are not doing their job properly , and if they get too hot , they stop working. Keep us posted on developements. Ross Moir Taxiway ALPHA Landing Expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mifsud 928114 Posted November 19, 2005 at 04:57 PM Author Posted November 19, 2005 at 04:57 PM Ok, I'll try all that and let you know. Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mifsud 928114 Posted November 19, 2005 at 07:59 PM Author Posted November 19, 2005 at 07:59 PM Ok, its running just fine now, but I'm not online. I didn't change any of the settings either, I'm using FSP[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers and everything but not connected to VATSIM. Could it be SB3?

If it does , it could be a SB3 issue . Ross Moir Taxiway ALPHA Landing Expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
