FS2004 Performance issues

Hello,

 

I just came out of a year long break from flying, and since then, I have switched from a PC to a Laptop. My specs are as follows:

 

Processor: T5550 1.83Ghz (Dual Core)

Video Card: Intel 965 express chipset (:()

Ram: 3.00 Gigabytes

Operating system: Vista

 

I know its no gaming computer, but It seems to me like it should be able to run FS2004 without any problems...

 

However, when I try to fly, I hit many problems. Sometimes the view of the outside will freeze, while my cockpit still works. Other times, the entire game will freeze. I don't know what is causing this. Any ideas? I really want to fly again, but this is holding me back...

 

Thanks!

You in aero gl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] mode? Try to go to basic mode in vista go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Customize colors > Open cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ic appearance properties then change to vista home basic mode then start flight sim when your done go back into aero gl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] mode.

 

Hope that helped.

Your processor is entirely inadequate to handle Vista plus anything else, and FS is very processor intensive and will only utilize one core.

 

1.83 is very slow.
