RFG2 and Windows XP Pro HELP!!!!!
Hey guys I updated my RFG2 and now I get an error message anytime I click on RF. It says
C:Program Files\Realflight\Realflight.exe is not a valid Win32 application
What can I do to fix this? Please help, it's been raining so I can't fly.

RE: RFG2 and Windows XP Pro HELP!!!!!
I can't help with this problem but somewhere in the back of my mind I recall having sonething similar and was helped by the folks at RealFlight support, I have run through all previous emails from them but am unable to find reference to it.
Having said that, I too have an issue with RFG2 and Windows XP Pro after installing SP2 (nVidia driver is V61.77 there is some 80Gb of free hard disk space and 758Mb RAM), G2 has been on there and workinf faultlessly for a couple of years until I installed SP2, now it pauses for what I would guess to be between 1/4 and 1/3 of a second every few seconds.
Has anybody else seen this problem or have a fix for it, it seems to me that it is somehow refreshing a buffer somewhere??
Any input would be appreciated as it is quite annoying when practicing F3A and IMAC schedulrs.

RE: RFG2 and Windows XP Pro HELP!!!!!
I have been considering rolling back SP2 as the problem in RealFlight G2 is rellly "offputting" when flying.
I contacted RealFlight Support and this is what they had to say "I don't see why SP2 would do this either but it has on several machines of our customers. You can try uninstalling and doing a clean installation this has helped the situation for a few people but most of them needed to uncheck the Virtual Revolution Technology."
I have not removed and re-installed the program as yet but have tried disabling some of the features as they suggested in this email and a previous one with very little quantifyable change.
I was hoping thet G3 being a recent release would be somewhat more compatible with SP2 than G2 but from your comments that does not appear to be the case. I have seen G2 running perfectly on machines as slow as a Pentium 3 800MHz with 512MB RAM and a 32MB Videl Card also a Pentium 3 1GHz with 256MB RAM and a 128MB Video Card both running on Windows XP Pro and SP1a. My machine has a 2GHz CPU, 768MB RAM and GeForce 4 video card with 256MB of RAM so I can't justify the drop off in performance.
