Is anyone successfully running FS9 & a Radeon 9600 on Windows 98?
Is anyone successfully running FS2004 & a Radeon 9600 on Windows 98?
If you are, then I would know it can be done. I have tried everything to stop it from freezing up about 30 seconds in to the flight. At this point, unless I hear otherwise, I would warn everyone that the ATI Radeon drivers won't run FS9 on Windows 98. What is truly aggravating is how well it runs FS2002! |

I have the Radeon 9500Pro/9700 and at one point was for giving up and
selling FS2004. At the "Choose an aircraft" stage it didnt even SHOW the aircraft in the little box. I saved as much as I could from my HD and did a complete format of C drive.I then reloaded everything as carefully as I could. Something told me not to load DirectX9b so I didnt. I then loaded FS2002 and it was of course brilliant. Then I loaded FS2004 and its own DirectX. Then I used the troubleshooting thingy and it took me to the updated drivers page for the Radeon family. Frame rates varied between 20 and 38 so I locked them at 30. It was a lot of work but it payed off for me. Hope this helps. Ripa/Scotland "Worrybird" wrote in message hlink.net...

Too many horror stories about the cat 3.6's for me to want to "upgrade". I get the flashing when pulling up the menu's but thats it, no crashes (only bad landings . Frames stay locked on 20 fps even with add on scenery, aircraft, and real world weather. My settings are backed down a bit, medium to high. I have AA turned on. Try a different driver version, otherwise I don't know why your card will not work. Derek |

Thanks Derek,
Lucky me.. the only one. I tried all the drivers, no joy. Stuck in an FX5900 with the new drivers and zoom.. no problems. Norm "Derek" wrote in message ...
