Status: offline 		OK...so I insert the CD...load both aerofly and the graphics program...then download both patches...

I successfully load one of the patches...the other one doesn't "see" the aerofly program on my computer. It indicates that Aerofly isn't on my computer and that I should load it. So I reloaded the program (an option, thankfully, in the start-up menu) but to no avail.

Hmm...

So I start AeroFly Pro (afp) and a dos-looking window opens...indicating that it's loading some scenery...then loading airplane 1, christeneagle...

time passes...hard drive zooms...more time passes...THEN: the dread..."this program has encountered a problem and must close. Do you want to alert Microsoft...blah blah blah..."

My computer is a mainstream Compaq...XP...what's wrong?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		I'm not sure what you mean by the graphics program since all i did was load the aerofly cd and installed one patch.....what graphics program and what is the other patch you are talking about?

Also list the specs of your computer in case it has to do something with the hardware.

Status: offline 		Correction: One patch...successfully run. Direct-X is what I called "the graphics program."

Program will, upon start-up, will show a dos-like screen as explained above. Then poop out on me, also as explained above.

Like everyone says we need you full computer specs.

Status: offline 		I'll do whatever you ask. How do I find the information you need?

I'm very excited about this program, and disappointed that I'm having troubles...

I appreciate the help!

Status: offline 		STL Pilot? I learned to fly full-scale in taildraggers. I assume STL is "Short Takoff and Landing."

I always wanted to fly a Maule or Heliocourier,

Status: online 		Grab your receipt or whatever you have. You should have something that lists what the specs are.

At least ... what video card do you have?

Status: offline 		I'm looking through the package which has all the pamphlets which came with my Compaq Presario PC.

I can't find ANY specific info on video card. It's just neanderthal info..."turning on your new PC"...and the like.

I'll try to find the info in my PC itself..."My Computer" maybe?

Do you know where I can find this info quickly?

Again, I really appreciate your help!

Status: offline 		Found this on another forum but I'll take it with a pinch of salt :''I was told and read on the forums that the VIA S3G Unicrome chipset is not made for gaming. It does not have T&L support and is not really for 3d stuff. But I have had some things work on it I haven't gotten or tryed any of the games metioned in this topic though.''

Maybe wait for someone that has got AFPD working on that specific card. You could try downloading a newer version of the graphics card's drivers. But the rest of the system's setup seems ok in my eyes. STLPilot would know better perhaps.

Also is the patch you are installing ''afpd18015.exe''??
