Argh, been pulling my hair out for a week or more trying to isolate the cause if intermittent crashes and CTD's. Tried the CTD fix, changing directories one by one with the orginal that I had backed up, and nothing seems to work. So, I'm doing a fresh install. The aircraft are straightforward, I'll move over the ones I want or install them. And I'll end up with a lot less than I have now, hehe. Same with addon scenery. FS Navigator and AS2004 I'll just reinstall, but I'm thinking more along the lines of the texture folder. Chris's clouds are of course a must, but wondering what else would you recommend as a nice to have or even as a must have. Many thx!rgds,billg

FWIW ------After loosing my hardrive on this Athlon 1900XP/Geforce3Ti500 a couple of weeks ago, the fresh install of FS2004 is flawless in the CTD department. I'd have to go to one of those known CTD situations to get one. And BTW, my P4 2.8 laptop is working with the same sucess for over two months now.At the moment I just added my newly purchased FS Genesis mesh for the Western U.S. It's quite impressive for the Rocky Mtn. area & appears to have no fps hit at all. Installed planes are just the payware Citation X & Van's RV7 until I get around to re-installing all the rest.L.Adamson
