Quite often, with a new installation of FS, the problem lies in incompatible system drivers. In particular, older graphics adapter drivers not being Direct-X 8 compatible.

To check, run the Direct-x Diagnostic utility to see if your GA is up to snuff. From the desktop, click Start>Run and type in 'dxdiag'. (without quotes). From it you can identify your GA, your driver versions and test the GA.

Driver update are available from the web.

If that doesnt do it or you need further help, just holler.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi David...!
How long have you waited after double-clicking the Icon...?
It often takes a while for the program to load-up all the files, scenery, textures, etc...!
After a while a progress bar will appear across the screen...
Have a look at your hard drive light...if it's flickering then the program is loading...!

Cheers...!
