Hi There, I appear have found away round the problem I mentioned in my first post, Instead of choosing view options, on the FS2002 menu I choose view mode and can then choose spot plane or tower view e.t.c without the machine crashing. However I am finding running fs2002 a problem i.e. the screen stutters at times with vista basic e.t.c even on my new pentium d processor computer, I may install Windows XP on my machine I may find FS2002 runs better on there, as it does run better with XP on my laptop,

Regards
