Poor FS9 FPS

Hi all,

 

I have just bought and reinstalled FS9 back onto my Vista computer, after my fs disc 4 was unable to be read. Start up of the software was great and swift, however when starting a flight my frame rates drop to 2 fps. When the program was first installed on the same computer, I was getting 15-20 fps on the ground, while being locked at 20fps. I have defraged, used wondows update to update all drivers, I have FS9 set to run on both cores yet still no improvement. Even when I start in the air at FL320 still nothing.

 

I would be very grateful for any input on this matter.

I've heard of FS9 running terribly on Vista PCs, what kind of video card do you have?
