Frozen Screen

[DrewE]

I have a similar problem to the listing called "Black Screen". Unfortunately, the workaround suggested for that problem doesn't work for me.

When I start FMS I get a back screen or sometimes it produces the landscape scene, but it is frozen. Additionally, there is no plane in the view. Sound works because I can change the throttle and I hear the difference. FMS appears to be using up most of the CPU bandwidth (close to 100%) even after I stop the program. Changing various settings on my video card didn't help, including reducing the hardware acceleration level.

I am running FMS on:
Toshiba Satellite 1805 notebook with WinMe
900 Mhz Pentium III
Trident CyberBlade Ai1 AGP video controller (I already downloaded the latest driver but it didn't help)
DirectX 9.0 (passed the tests run from the DxDiag box)

Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated!!!
