I know this problem has been posted in this forum previously yet I could not find any definitive solution. The problem seems to have started yesterday out of nowhere. If I open the kneeboard and then click anywhere inside it with my mouse, FS2004 will immediately go to a black screen and then crash followed by the usual Microsoft error report. I have tried deleting the FS9.CFG file. I have tried deleteing other CFG files. I have uninstalled and re-installed FS2004. I have removed my video drivers and re-installed them. I don't have the application Robofarm or Windowsblinds. I don't know what to try anymore. I really would like to avoid having to re-install Windows XP. Can anyone offer some assistance please? It's been extremely frustrating lately because I don't spend time enjoying Fs2004 instead I spend a lot of time fixing problems with joysticks and annoyances such as this. Thank you for your help guys.

I had the same problem, I found the same problem and the answer over here http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/dcforum/DC...ID21/19282.htmlThough instead of deleting it from the registry, I unistalled the Viewpoint program instead.Hope this helps

It worked like a charm! FYI: Viewpoint manager is a part of AOL's Instant Meesenger (AIM) software. It is used to display their idiotic buddy icons. It can definitely be uninstalled without any hesitation. I can't believe I was pulling my hair out all because of this nonsense. One more reason why I hate anything associated with AOL. Thank you again.

Why does anyone still use "AOL"??? OK...sorry, I just couldn't resist!
