Hi all.

I'm both new and old to this.

Used to fly online a couple of years ago (or even more).

I've gotten "back on the horse" again, but as allways there's a problem or two in the way ...

I've just installed the new SB3 and AVC. And when i tried to start fs2004 it just locked up.

I tried to restart my computer.. No changes.

Tried to update FSUIPC.dll.. Still no changes.

Found out (No expert on reading forums and stuff ) that there was a update for fs2004, installed that and still no luck.

So with all my wizdom (NOT) , i'm stuck as "#"%%#..

 

My computer specs:

 

Pentium 4 2.4Ghz

1024MB ram

XP sp.2

Nvida 64MB ram GeForce 4 MX440 (Old school, funny it works at all)

 

Can anybody help ???

Yes. FS9 did start propperly before installing all the above mentioned.

I'm don't like the possabilety of having to install FS9 all over again + all of my addon planes .

But if it's what it takes, then i guess i have to .

 

Well. Any experience in my problem or help is warmly welcomed .

 

Thanks for replying.

Maybe you should at least read the SB3 info...you do not need AVC - SB3 has inbuilt voice What version of SB3 did you install? Current one is 3.04 A trip to this link http://squawkbox.ca/doc/faq/ could be good idea too

Okay. Now you need to be more specific about the "FS2004 locking up". When does it lock up (on the welcome screen, on selecting a flight, on loadind a flight...the more info the better) and what error messega do you see (if any?) What anti-virus and/or firewall do you use? Waht FSUIPC did you install? Registered or unregistered? SB3 comes with a version that doesn't really need to be upgraded

Finally: is your XP up to date? And did you install DirectX 9.0c?

 

On your MX440; you say "funny it works at all". Maybe it does not work after all

That's all I can think of until you give us more info
