This is answered in many messages in this forum. You can
search the archives for answers. I will tell you that a
lot of information is in the Manual, also. One thing be
sure you have updated "DirectX to 9B". Next you have to
check your video card is as current or updated. You also
did not state what system you are running? We need to
know what CPU and Motherboard you have. Did you check to
see if you have enough Memory and RAM? Give us something
to help you with.

Unfortunately... this has been DISCUSSED in many messages
on this forum, but the truth is it has NEVER been fully
ANSWERED. Updating to DirectX 9b might be the answer, but
usually isn't. Knowing what CPU and mobo you have isn't
going to solve the problem, or at least it never has.
FS2002 basically did not have this very common fault.
Sometimes a complete reinstall of Windows and FS9 will
get things working... but that's a very bitter pill.

snarge,
Seems like you want to make trouble rather than help a
person. Can you prove your statements by fact? All this
person wanted is some help. I never have had any problems
with Win XP, and have no problems with FS2004 or Fs9. The
intent of this forum is to direct a help. Knowing the so
called mobo will help as some platforms who have a problem.
As for FS2002, I had problems with it in FS98 and have
since deleted the FS and also FS2002. With tools almost
all the 2002 has worked in the FS2004.
