Most likely an addon. I had the same problem when checking out an aircraft in FS2002 this afternoon. It was fine when I installed all the files properly.

If you can't figure out the problem a full uninstall/install might be the only way to fix it. If you have enough HD space a duplicate install would be better.

Remember to delete all the files though, FS2002 won't remove any addons when you uninstall for the re-install, and it kinda ruins the whole point if you leave them there then install again huh? Roll Eyes

Sorry. This is what I meant by a "full" uninstall/install. Doing this without deleting the FS2002 directory after Uninstall is complete would usually be called a Reinstall. Maybe I could have explained it better. Wink

The duplicate install is still the better option providing you have enough HD space.

My Windows '98 gets a little confused at times over all sorts of things, and comes up with that report... Roll Eyes

I find that a shut-down followed by a re-boot does the trick, and '98 is happy again... Grin

Have you changed, updated or installed anything recently? Maybe you have a virus.

What was the plane Doug?

On the subject of a virus, I don't run virus software as I can't afford the d**n stuff. If I go to IP chicken http://www.ipchicken.com/ I get told my IP, and beneath

Woot! Go Windows 98! I know this is like waaayyyy off subject and has no point in being here, but have you guys seen that video of Bill Gates on Oprah I think it was, he was trying to give a demo (this is when '98 was brand new) and it crashed on him? That's some funny crap man. Grin
