I have just had the same problem with FMS Beta 7 on Win2000. The application starts and then after 2 or 3 seconds it restarts my computer - I'm using DirectX 7.0. Does anyone know the solution to this?

I have the same problem. as soon as FMS loads up, it freezes the system (Win. 98 v2). have to do a push-button restart. have a AMD K6 300 Mgz,96 meg ram, matrox mystique 220 4meg/8ram video card.
looks like a good program, anybody have any suggestions??

I had this problem on Win 98, 128M ram computer after I had sucessfully run it a few times. I figured I had set FMS for 1024x768 resolution and 32-bit color, which was hard for my system to handle. Each time I booted up FMS, it locked up the computer. Then while opening FMS, I hit escape, and it went to a small window. Then I reduced the color to 16 bit, and the resolution. It then loaded and ran OK. Now when I change landscape scenery, it locks up, so before changing landscape, I turn off texture, change scene, and then turn on texture. Hope you all have success with FMS; it is a very good sim, and the models each have their own flight characteristics and speed- like real ones.
