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.
