Help!...Re-installing FS2004.

NWSRG Guest

Folks,

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I had to recover my PC, and did a disk format.
So I had to start afresh re-installing FS2004.

I had had FS2004 running happily, with A340 Professional, 737NG, and FS Terrain bolted on and no problems.

But after recovering the PC, and re-installing FS2004, the simulator refuses to work. Installation apparently went perfectly, but once I try to run the programme, it freezes at the introduction screen (the one with the Caravan). I have to do a Ctrl-Alt-Del, which then shows FS2004 'Not responding'.

I have tried un-installing all other software in case there is a conflict, but to no effect.
I have tried a full disk scan, which showed no problems.
And I tried disabling Norton (it conflicted when I originally loaded FS Terrain), but again to no effect.

Has anyone suffered the same problem? Or suggest any answers?

Thanks.

One thing I forgot to mention folks.

During installation, although everything seems to work fine, FS2004 is only seeing 14GB of Hard drive, not the 114GB thta is free!

Check and make certain that you have a folder on "My Documents" and if so delete the last flight.
If that doesn't work let us know and list your system specs.
I take you have installed all of the Windows updates, SP1 and the latest DirectX.

I just answered you in the single post that you made but you didn't say anything in that about a "minidump".
Try what I told you there first.
