Try running the game in 32Bit instead of 16Bit.....

Download Direct X9c http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downl...

Download New Nvidia drivers http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77

Also, check to be sure you have current motherboard drivers

You should be good to go! Good luck!

Download the latest 60 series driver Nvidia have listed, READ the manual, yes its long, but its detailed and essential reading you should be good to go.

Below is a driect link to the drivers, right click, "Save as" Wink

I just loaded up 61.76 on my MSI nVidia gForce4 MX440. Had a heck of a time getting around the "black screen freeze" on FS9. Finally discovered that turning OFF vertical sync on the nVidia got me to FS9 just fine.

Good news. Avg framerates increase 5-10 easy.

Bad news. All my std. panels are stretched out of proportion and no buttons work. Virtual panels are fine though. Could not work around this so I reinstalled my old drivers. Bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!
