Nirvanawere both having a bad day.Did you do a reinstal over to your original directory?Try renaming fs2002.cfg and see if that will make it kick inI feel your painSun

Hi NirvanaMy problem is my system and fs2002 were running great; I then decided I wanted to setup my scanner: 1 click on the driver and whammo no more windows. Threw some kind of memory blue screen every boot up.So full reinstall for me.....but yknow it goes like hell now heheheSun

[Guest nirvana]

hey! that sounds terrible!! :( but you may want to know that i solved my problem! i installed FS2002 into an other directory and it works fine now! but all those settings!! :( bye, peter

[Guest sunstriker]

Next time you reinstall to another directory, copy and save your old FS folder first before uninstalling. Then rename the newly installed FS folder something else and rename the old one to the new folder's original name. Wham! - you have your old FS back. It's worked for me before.Hope this helps,-- Tom GibsonCalifornia Classic Propliners: http://www.calclassic.com/Cal Classic Alco Page: http://www.calclassic.com/alco/Freeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.com/ San Diego Model RR Museum: http://www.sdmodelrailroadm.com/Drop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
