I have never used Irfanview, so I do not know the answer.  But if no one gives you a adequate answer, just unistall it.

I meant to unistall Infanview not CFS2!

You are probably right Hagar. I have never used this program.

I don't see why James. This is a CFS2 problem & I know just a little about CFS2. I'm also very familiar with IrfanView which I suspect has nothing to do with this at all. Now, if Jim cares to respond with a little more information maybe I or someone else can figure it out.

PS. Your original suggestion to uninstall IrfanView was a good one but as I said before I doubt very much that will fix this problem.

Right. Please let's leave it there until Jim responds. This is getting ridiculous. LOL

I suspect there is a completely different reason for Jim's problem. IrfanView is a handy little graphics editing program completely separate from CFS2 or any other MS sim. It's very popular for processing screenshots & photos posted on this forum every day. I've been using it for many years & it runs happily alongside different versions of CFS/FS. I can't see how installing an unrelated program would cause this or any other conflict with CFS2. It would be the same as saying installing Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or even MS Paint messed up your aircraft textures.

PS. You might like to try it yourself. IrfanView

Hi everyone
I have the same problem only i have never used or had installed Irfanview, Also it is only with the stock planes as downloaded ones show up no problem??
Hope this might throw a little more light on the matter?
I would be grateful for any help on this as i am not sure what could be causing it,

Thanks jemc

Mushroom_Farmer I was thinking the same thing. But first I think he should try to reinstall CFS2. Probably that will fix the problem. If not he should try the compabilty method.

Try this first:I"am sorry my friend but seems to me that your PC is going to one of those PC kapup moments. The only easy solution is to reinstall CFS2. Its very easy and you will not have to lose all your addon planes. This will probably fix your problem.The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that you need to backup the World/ Texure and Scenery folders inside the SCENEDB Folder if you had them upgraded.


Here are instructions on how to reinstall your CFS2 program and not to lose most of your addon By Hagar:

Just remember to press the CFS2 command Keyboard instead of the CFS1 ones. This way you will be able to communicate with your wingmen and also be able to use all the other CFS2 featres.

I know now Thanks to Hagar making that program available to me that this program is unlikely to be the problem.


I hope I have been able to help you.
