ok I have a 500 mhz pc with a video crad that has 16 mb and fs 2002 will only start in safe mode. i have run all the direct x tests and they all passed how mdo i fix this????

Buy a new machine :D.

the 500 meg mobo should cut it, but you really will need to upgrade your video card...preferably to something with 64megs of ram on board...set your visual settings about mid way and you should get some decent, acceptable performance. Sherman KaplanHighland Park IL

What type of 16 meg card do you have? Have you researched it in the readme file included with FS2002?-John

Another thing to check on. Load FS2002 then click on Settings, Display and Hardware tab. Look to the bottom left of the window to see if "Enable Hardware Acceleration" has an "X" in it.Jerry
