FS9 - Jitters and Lock-Ups on Final Approach...

Hi there everyone, I've spent many hours tweaking my FS9 (Addon Scenery, AI Traffic, Weather etc) and it would appear that I'm nearly there however, the only sticking point right now is when my aircraft (PMDG's 744) is on final approach to any airport, I can get some unreal jitters and lock-up's especially when very close to the ground or upon landing, which after a near perfect flight stuff's it all up...I'm sure you all can understand where I'm coming from..?I'm running FS9 on the following system...------------------System Information------------------Time of this report: 11/14/2005, 21:08:03Machine name: HOCOSE-9B4DFBOperating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)Language: English (Regional Setting: English)System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard System Model: Pavilion zv5000 (PN561PA#ABG) BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBLProcessor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)Memory: 1150MB RAMPage File: 1024MB used, 1919MB availableWindows Dir: C:WINDOWSDirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)DX Setup Parameters: Not foundDxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode---------------Display Devices---------------Card name: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000/9100 IGPManufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.Chip type: MOBILITY RADEON 9100 IGP AGP (0x5835)DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)Device Key: EnumPCIVEN_1002&DEV_5835&SUBSYS_006B103C&REV_00Display Memory: 128.0 MBCurrent Mode: 1280 x 800 (32 bit) (60Hz)Monitor: Default MonitorMonitor Max Res: Driver Name: ati2dvag.dllDriver Version: 6.14.0010.6436 (English)DDI Version: 9 (or higher)Driver Attributes: Final RetailDriver Date/Size: 5/15/2004 22:29:34, 202752 bytesWHQL Logo'd: YesWHQL Date Stamp: n/aVDD: n/aMini VDD: ati2mtag.sysMini VDD Date: 5/15/2004 22:29:12, 701952 bytesDevice Identifier: {D7B71EE2-1B75-11CF-A86A-6120A1C2CB35}Can anyone out there in Sim-Land help with regards to finally sorting this problem out? Surely my system is powerful enough?I've edited my FS9Config set-up file as much as I can with the help of the MSFS Avsim Forum with a frame rate of 20, which did help but, it hasn't stopped the problem.FS9Config
