Hi,I'm installing the software tools for vatsim, and I'm blocked by Squawkbox crashing when I hit "Join", with the message:<>I believe I followed the instructions on the Pilot Resource Center correctly. By the way, the link to AVC in 103a is broken.I use Windows 2000, MSFS 2002, DirectX 9.0cAny suggestions appreciated!-Serban Simu
