Whenever I click on view options form the pull down menu Fs2k2 crashes. Has anyone ever encountered this before? Does anyone know of a fix for this?All the other functions work fine except for this.

Yes I can tell you exactly what that is. I discovered this just after I built a new FS computer and switched from Win98 to WinXP. It turns out that if you have "HideInfoText" set to 1 in your FS2002.cfg file, which turns of all of the information messages on the screen, like the brake message and the frame rate display, it will cause FS2002 to crash when you select 'view options' from the menu. You'll have to set 'HideInfoText=0' to fix the problem.
