So i reinstalled win 2000 [Properly this time. I left it disconected from teh intersweb till i installed Sp4 and the rollup, then i immunized with Spybot]

But Flight Sim 2002 is giving me problems. It says i don't have hardware accel on but i do. Never had this problem in win98 and the video card ran fine on it before. Any ideas?

He means flight simulator 2002.

Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers, and directx installed

You put plug your PC in, turn it on, get in a tub filled with water, and drop it in with you.

You figure you would get the The Blue Screen of Death if you did that?

Any actual help?

No we don't, because nobody ever posted there or checked there, and maybe 3-4 people on Massassi know enough about computers to give computer advice competently.

And, to be totally blunt, after you ignore advice the first three times people tend to stop giving any to you.

What version of Direct X do you have? How did you check or how do you know?

What video card do you have? What version is your video card driver?

In the device manager does the video card description (usually the make and model) match the make and model of the video card you are supposed to have? Does it match what it used to be when you were running Windows 98?

Or he can just list the total specs of his computer.

Just in case you don't know already, make sure that when you download drivers, it says "2000/XP" and not "win9x". Makes a world of difference.

Seriously, get a better computer.

I've heard of people finding fully functional (after a reformat) WinXP-capable machines in the trash. My point is, you can get something that can run windows 2000 decently for almost nothing these days.

Dude, you need Windows 2002 to run Flight Simulator 2002. Duh.
