Graphics Issue - Frame stutter

[Guest rds_mcleod]

I don't know what got bopped to cause this, but all of a sudden I'm getting frame stuttering. I've re-installed the nVidea drivers, and DirectX to no relief. The frame rate pauses about every 15-20 seconds, and then restarts.- eliminated WideFS as a cause- re-installed fresh nVidea DRVS1. haven't re-installed PMDG software2. nor FS93. Occurs with PMDG 737NG and the new ATR by Flight1I was hoping someone may have experienced this one and hopefully has a solution. ;-) I would appreciate any help.Ron - CYEGSystem:WinXP ProASUS FSB 800/2048 DDR 400 INTEL 3.0nVidea GeForce FX 5900 128g

Well it certainly is not for lack of ram there Ron ;-). Something else maybe causing serious system strain while running? Not sure why it only occures with these two sims.[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4]

I'm going to re-install FS9 next and hope it's one of the FS9 files. This one has me stumped. ;-(-- Ron

Make sure you have fs9 sp1 also. It's supposed to stop someof the memory leaks.
