That's terrible luck, send it back and see what they can do about it.
A thought.
Do you still have your old card, if so put it in and see if the sim crashes or not.
That way you'll be able to tell if it's the card or something else.

The old card worked fine with no crashes and I did a couple of flights.Even with the 9200se its still fun to have a good running sim even though the scenery looks horrible.Do you think I could run the 9600 with the drivers that I use the 9200 with (these are the drivers from the disk)

You can run the ATI card with just about any of the drivers.
Older drivers will work on it but you just won't get that extra inch out of the card.
Clean out the drivers you have now and load the old ones.
Fix it up in the cards control panel and I hope that it work well for you.
Let us know.

I don't think it's the card but check the net for prices.
Here are some, do a search for the lowest.

Just before I decide to get a new card I want to make sure has anyone got any more sugestions on the 9600 as I dont want to waste loads of money and then find out I still have the same problem and its not the g/card.
