|
|
Hi. Does anyone know of any reason why FS2002 shouldn't run ok on my Vista Home Premium laptop. I have set the emulation to XP in the properties box on the startup shortcut. It seems to have problems remembering which aircraft I wish to fly and from which airport. Also, if I press Alt for the menus during a flight, everything freezes up when I return to the flight and I end up using Ctrl+Alt+Del to invoke the Task Manager to shut FS2002 down.
Any help wld be much appreciated

| Have you tried it in Win98 mode? Does Vista have a Win98 mode? |

As I can tell, there is no Win98 mode.
Besides that, FS2002 will not work at all with Vista.
If you can get FS2002 a/c, that have been updated to FS2004 configuration, then most of them will work. However, do not use any panel from FS2002, unless it is strickly .xml or .cab.

| If Vista has a Windows 2000 mode, FS2002 does fly quite nicely on Windows 2000. |
