I found this thread while trying to figure out why all of my MS simulators are freezing.
Since I installed SP2 none of my Microsoft Flight Simulators work FS 2002 Pro, CFS2, CFS3. I can fire them up. But, usually my system freezes up within minutes, often this problem is immediate. I don’t have problems with any of my other apps (though I’m still installing software after a reformat and a reinstallation.)
I’ve looked in several flight simulator forums as well as the Microsoft Knowledgebase and found no answers.
I have a feeling that the problem is related to my Nvidia drivers, which are new. However I’ve tried several older drivers and still had the same problem.
FYI I've got the new Nvidia drivers installed now (actually I think that this may be conflicting with SP2). My CPU temp is usually under 120. All my Simulators worked just fine before SP2. Anybody have any ideas?
