Thanks RC Captain for all your help on this. I do appreciate it!

I work with computers all the time, so I am pretty familar with them. I haven't done too much with high end games, however. My hard drive is 80 GB - I have about 60 GB free. I did go to the ATI website and got the latest set of drivers for my video card. It's all up to date. I also downloaded the latest version of Direct X from the microsoft website. I have a friend who ran G3 on a couple different laptops with no problems. I did disable the antivirus software before installing FS One. I have also tried different resolutions and changed about every video setting I can find. Nothing helps. The screen starts to come up and then just disappears - no error messages, no nothing.

I called Horizon Hobbies technical support today. No help there either. They had me run through a bunch of checks, but everything was fine. They supposedly elevated it to a Tier 2 ticket, and are supposed to call me back sometime.

Does anybody have any ideas?
