Flight Simulator Freezes While Running Simultaneously w/ VRC

The title says it all...

 

I've been trying to set up a virtual tower view, however when VRC and Flight Simulator 9 are running simultaneously, my computer completely freezes up for about 30 seconds. Then, everything returns to normal, however the cycle repeats until I close flight simulator. This doesn't just happen when I try to set up the VTV using a multiplayer session. This happens whenever Flight Simulator loads a flight when VRC is running. It does not happen at the FS menu or during the flight-loading process. Specs are below:

 

Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Celeron CPU 2.53 GHz

1.24 GB RAM

GeForce 6200 PCI (not PCI Express)

Hi Harold,

 

Personally, I think it's a lack of CPU resources (Celerons aren't that great for graphic intensive apps/hardcore gaming) and a lack of RAM.

 

I run an AMD Athlon64 3400+ with 2Gb of RAM and an ATI Radeon X1600XT(256Mb) and using VRC and FS9 together still causes a slow down in my system.

 

It may be time for an upgrade if you want to run the two together.

 

Cheers!

Paul.
