February 5, 200818 yr Hello. I have a severe problem. Whenever I start FS9 by itself, it runs fine. However, whenever I start a third party application with it (ie. Squawkbox or FS Passengers or Radar Contact), it runs fine for a while, but if that program overloads (like people transmitting voice frequently on Squawkbox, and many other things requiring FSP or Radar Contact to use more of its features), my whole system freezes and forces me to restart manually. I can't finish my flights online anymore.. :( I'm guessing that it's a video card problem but I have downloaded the latest drivers for it. I tried the Catalyst and Omega drivers, but they didn't help. If someone can suggest something that would be much appreciated as I'd like to start flying with VATSIM again. It's been a while... :(My Computer Specs:Windows XP SP2 32bitRadeon X1300 PRO 256MB Video Card4 GB PC4200 RAMIntel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz each
February 6, 200818 yr UPDATE:I remembered that when I updated my Omega driver for my video card, it had no problems for a couple of days. Everything loaded very fast and I had smooth framerates. My squawkbox also had no problems. However, it started to freeze the system again after a couple of days.So now I tried re-installing the same driver (no new ones yet) and the problem went away. I don't know if it'll return after a few days like last time though.So why does re-installing the driver fix the problem but only for a few days? This is very mysterious...
