I have been running FS9 for about 3 months with no real problems. I installed squakbox, and everytime while I run it and FS9, FS9 locks up about 5 or so minutes into it, whether I'm flying or just sitting on the ground. I lowered all my settings way down to see if that would do anything, and it didn't. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Thanks

well dont hold me to it, but it could be something to do with your sound card / drivers, go to start --> run >> and type dxdiag

 

go to the sound tab and click on NO Hardware acceleration, maybe this may help?

May try update driver.

 

Drivers.

Update drivers has solve several problem (my included). Seldom new problem come with new driver. Drivers coming with CD for new card are usually buggy. Try update your graphic card driver if it crash (typical freeze while sound just continue) or is strange.

I updated the drivers, and I think that fixed it (It hasn't frozen yet) thanks for the help.

 

Edit : Yep, it worked, scared me though, I alt tabbed and came back in and it wasn't letting me do anything but after waiting about 5 seconds it started working again.

Well, I upgraded my drivers but unfortunately my sim is still freezing up on me!

 

I've tried to completely uninstall and reinstall SB... no luck. I'm sure all the controllers are P'd at me by now.
