Well I've finally narrowed down my problem I've been having with FS9, as in I couldn't do more the one flight in a session, until now it never told me why it would shut down, now it tells me FS9 has to shut down because my system had run out of Virtual Memory.

I have over 17gb's of free space, I have a 3.9ghz processor, 2gb's of memory a Nvida 6800 256mb. Says I should run disk cleanup, I deleted like over 10gb's of stuff since I figured out the problem and ran disk cleanup, got to run two full flights and then while taxing in the third after like a half hour of setting up the flight with FS2Crew it crashed. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So frustrating! Thought I had finally solved the problem, of course I didn't. Sad

Any suggestions?

Since the cleanup worked so well. I've found this to be a handy cleanup app.

Also with disk-cleanup you can dump all but one of your restore system back-ups which can be many megs.

Woah thanks, I can always count on you to help me out of a jam. Smile

Well it showed that it was still running with the factory set of Virtual memory back when I had 526mb or whatever it is of memory, now that I have 2gb and now that I'll actually be using it hopefully this will solve the problem. Now to start doin some flights. Smile Then maybe I can install Active Sky once again.
