Hi. Sorry to bring up a tired subject once again, but I'm new to the FMS Forum and I'm stumped as to how I can get the software running on my laptop. I have an Acer Aspire One laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic and I've been trying to get FMS 2.0 Beta 7 operational for several weeks now, unsuccessfully. I've read everything I can find on line, and even consulted with the vendor who provided the installation software (Banana Hobby). After successfully loading the software, I get the "floating point division by zero" error, followed by a black screen with the appropriate headings across the top. When I try to load scenery, planes, etc., I get Access errors from FMS.exe. I'm able to calibrate my transmitter properly, but that's about all. I've downloaded and installed both a Virtual Serial Port and the "d3drm.dll" file, and uninstalled and re-installed the software, both from the disc and from on-line download about a dozen times, and still cannot get background too appear. Having followed every thread related to this problem, I see that this is not an unusual issue, but I haven't found any clear-cut resolutions that actually work. If anyone has any solution to this, I would sure like to hear from you.
Thanks in advance.
