Ok, So i can take off, fly a route, but after about 20-30 minutes (varies per A/C) my FS goes all crazy and just freezes.

I'm in FS2004, SquakBox, and my system specs are as follows

1.6 processor

512 MGB of ram

40 gig hard drive

 

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Well for one I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with your system. And for two i would try re-installing the Sim... And could you make a more detailed spec sheet of your system...

Ok, I reinstalled FS and SB3, and it did the same thing. I've never had any problem running anything eles on it, but heres a semi-better system spec.

 

IBM X32

Intel pentium M Processor 1.60 GHz

ATI MOBILITY RADEON

40G Hard drive

 

If you need anything else, please tell me.

Dude chk out this thread.

 

http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=13256

 

Heres a list of things i had to do to get my FS to stop freezing.

 

 

1. Disable UpnP on my router.

 

2. Run the winsocks fix in the thread above.

 

3. Disable UpnP in the windows services screen (thats also in the link above - posted by me)

 

And last but net least . .

 

4. Click start, click run and type 'regsvr32 /u mclsp.dll' (without quotes) to disable a MCafee adware blocker that halted my system. (i think you only need to do this if you have Mcafee)

 

 

 

I just started using Squawkbox last sunday and i was having the same problem, random halts where i could still hear ATC traffic but FS stopped responding. Very frustrating.

 

If you have any questions about how to do this stuff about how to do this stuff let me know. I actually had to call my router company to find out if UpnP was disabled.

 

Good luck.
