Some times a disk clean/restart followed by aDisk Defrag and restart helps.Please be advised that I am a beginer at best when it comes to PC diag. The previous mentioned steps did help my PC.Thank you.Mark.OS:MS Windows XP Professional, Ver 2002 Service Pack 2 Hardware:Intel Pentium® 4 CPU 2.802.84 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM GeForce 7800GS 256 MB w/ DDR3 running a 21/19.6 Sony Flat Screen Tubed Monitorand a,GeForce FX 5200 128MB 17/16 NEC/Mitsubishi Tubed MonitorGeForce FX 5200 128MB NEC/Mitsubishi 18 Flat Panel.

Did you try having FS rebuild the config file?

[Guest BillTee]

Yes, I did rename the .cfg and tried to restart FS, it still hung at the splash screen and I had to go to Task Manager to exit. I looked at the .cfg, it had 0 Kb in it and again it would crash during the splash screen. I have done a disk check and repair bad sectors to no avail.Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,Bill T.

Is there any way to diagnose FS9.1 issues ? To tell where it is hanging up ?Will "World Airports" ( for FS2002 ) work OK in FS2004 COF ?There is a really good deal for "World Airports" older v. at Purplus.Merry Christmas,Bill T.
