I just got my copy of FSX deluxe today, and I installed it, and it ran fine the first time I loaded it, frames at around 20 at LSGG (15 at heathrow), but now everytime I run it, the ATC voices and mission voices are going so slowly! it's like a walkman running out of batteries! I've tried reinstalling, deleting the .cfg, but no luck so far, hopefully one of you knowlegeable folks can help!

Turn off all sounds for a while to see.Are you using acceleration for sound? Check your dxdiagallen

Yeah, I 've tried everything, and it all seems to be in working order. I'm completely stumped. Like I said, it worked fine the first time I ran it, just never again.Aaron

I used to have problems with my M-Audio soundcard when playing FS9 until I got WinXP.May be your M-Audio, which was not designed for games, but for music creation, is the problem, Drivers?And, thats an external soundcard, com by usb???I use my Audigy Z for games and M-audio 2496 for Cubase SX3allen
