Greetings,I have been experiencing a problem with my GF4 Ti4400 and FS2002. Whenever I return to FS after a task switch, many effects such as clouds, nav light glow effect, and selected ground-based scenery appear inside black boxes. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in uploading a screen shot of the problem.I have posted this problem in this forum before, but unfortunately no one was able to solve my problem. I post it once again in hopes that since that time someone may have learned how to cure this problem.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards :-wave,Chris BrunnerCYVRSYSTEM------CPU/ AMD Athlon 1.33 MHzMB/ ECS K7S5AVIDEO/ MSI GF4 Ti4400 40.72 DriversRAM/ 256 MB DDROS/ Windows 2000

Which detonator drivers have you tried? Try a few different ones and see if that helps you. Also, make sure to un-install all drivers before you install any new ones.Ryan-Flightpro08 :-cool VATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Senior Controller (C-3)SAN TRACON Lead ASRC (Advanced Simulated Radar Client) Beta Tester-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 30.30 Drivers)512MB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition SP1*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*3dMark2001SE Score: 11298-----------------------------Click [link:ftp.avsim.com/library/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=Ryan+Fretwell&CatID=Root]Here to Download my New American Eagle POSKY CRJ-200!

Hi Ryan,Thanks for the reply. I've tried the latest drivers and about the 4 previous versions, and no success. I'll try several more earlier versions and see what happens.Regards :-wave,Chris BrunnerCYVR

It would not surprise me if M$ is using some crafty optimization within FS2002 that gets corrupted on a task switch, and that the problem has nothing to do with the video card. In my XP system, if I switch users (which, of course, requires a task switch), then return to the FS2002 user, I get the BSOD as soon as I attempt to bring FS2002 back up from the task bar. (This has to be the only application for which I have ever seen XP produce a BSOD specifically)I am thinking that: depending on how your main memory and/or your video memory was actually used during the task switch... that you may get NO effect at all, or you may get your "black boxes" effect, or you may get my BSOD effect...The problem could be in an FS2002 optimization, as I have suggested, or even a bug in the XP/2000 operating systems, when they do task switches... perhaps not properly saving the state of the video for the switched task, for example.So I doubt that we will find a fix, until the next versions... which of course come with their own newer, bigger, better, faster bugs :-8 .Art.
