problems with FS2004 and vista

[Luis Donoso 919676]

Hello

 

I've installed my FS9 in Windows Vista Home Premiumin my notebook, initially it worked fine, with good performance. Last night when I wanted to run it to test my joystick, the simulator throwed me a problem, it says that the sim will close because there's no enough hard drive space, but I have more than 100 GB of free space!

 

Here are the specs of my notebook

 

HP Pavilion tx2532la

Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

3GB RAM DDR2 800 MHz

250 GB of HD (aprox 110 GB of free space)

ATI Radeon 3200 HD

AMD turion dual core mobile RM-70 2.00 GHz

 

Before the problems, I ran defraggler to defrag my drive, can defraggler cause this problem?

I executed checkdisk and it says there was no problem.

 

I tried to restore my system, but the only restore point that exists before the defragmentation doesn't work

 

any ideas how to solve it?

 

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that was the exact error message? Is it possible you can duplicate it and type the exact words, or maybe post an image of the error?

 

You might be running out of virtual memory as a result of some other programs you have running at the same time. Starting your Flight Simulator session from a fresh boot and only loading the applications that you really need to run will minimize the change of memory (both virtual and main) error messages.
