Is there a way to NOT have FS2004 pause when minimizing the window or opening a new window. I would like to be able to fly while conducting other work on the computer but when I minimize or go to another window, it automatically pauses the game.

Uncheck the "Pause on task switch"

Uncheck the 'Pause on Task Switch" box in the main FS 2004 options section. I think I saw that one when I was browsing through my option settings the other day.Kim
