black screen - Cannot start FMS

[fenjal]

I have downloaded FMS Ver 7 for Windows
When starting it up, I momentarilly see the words "Initialising Model Flight Simulator" in white letters on a black background.
This wording then disappears and all than remains is a black screen.
I am using Win 98 on a Pentium III 800 MHz.
Any help would be very much appreciated ( I have tried reinstalling, the special files for graphics problems and all the other suggestions, all to no avail)
Thanks[B]

Try waiting for a minute. Mine takes 16 seconds of black screen before it actually starts.
