ORIGINAL: avroarrow Hello Brian, sorry didn't get right back to you right away, but snow and xmas have tied me up.I have 3 pc's at the moment, with one being a lap top.Early next week my Guru Son and I will sit down and figure this out. I will look at the open GL drivers and see what's in there. I did manage to get a smaller flight sim, FMS, running on my laptop by inserting a System 32 dll into Vista's registry and got the program running using the FS1 controller. The vista released OS is not built with this dll. Now your suggestion to review the open gl drivers sounds like this could be on the right track.I'll do some comparisons and see if we're lacking all the video drivers needed.I'll look at the sound side of things when I get the sim running. Looking at what happens when you try to start the sim program , we are not seeing a system crash once video is enabled,which is what i would expect to see if video was an issue.But we will check what open GL drivers have been loaded. Getting with a tech over the phone has been difficult , I'm not in the time zone and they don't work weekends. i will be completing another desktop PC just after xmas and this will solve one problem,then I will move to why things don't work for my vista OS systems after that.I'm also wondering if the people that have FS1 running on vista are using the 64bit version or the 32bit version ? I'm using the basic 32bit version. Don Don -- I believe people have been using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I have personally tested using 32-bit Vista. Be sure to check both video drivers and sound drivers. We have heard reports of some sound issues that prevent the sim from running, but after updating sound drivers, everything is fine. The same is true of video drivers.
