Mystery.I was running fs9 as usual, then went away for a few days.Came back and tried to load fs9, but it wouldn't go beyond the splash screen.Tried rebooting- same problem.Ran registry cleaner, defragged, cleaned up junk files.Ran virus checker-everything is clean. Still fs9 refuses to load. Aaaaaargh!@#$This the error report I get below:Any ideas what's wrong?C:DOCUME~1userLOCALS~1Temp54f1_appcompat.txtEytan OrnsteinIntel 2core duo 4400 2.0GHZGeForce 8600GT 256MB2.0 GB ramWindows XP home

Problem solved!I updated my graphics driver and fs9 loads up ok.What hapened was that on e of my kids had installed an old game, which must have put in an older driver.basic stuff, i guess. Always update!Eytan
