Windows XP and 3d Party Aircraft

[Guest]

I recently got a new computer with WinXP. When I try to run certain aircraft in FS2002 I get the dreaded '3d party software error message .. read the Readme file in FS2002'. (I did!!) The error refers to the .MDL file.Here is the kicker .. I ran these aircraft successfully on my old computer with Win98 and FS2002 so the only difference I can see is the OS.Would anyone have any ideas on why this is and possibly a fix?The aircraft .. an Air Canada DC-9 by Project Freeware (for FS2000) a Dash 8 by Barry Blaisdell (for FS2000)I know both where made for FS2000 but again, they worked fine in FS2002 and Win98. This error has also appeared on some FS98 designed aircraft.TIAVern
