FS2004 minimises itself on descent???!! - Clipper - 08-11-2007

Hello all,

Strange one this, nothing has changed on my system, yet when i'm on my descent approaching finals it crashes to the desktop, at least
that's what i thought, however FS2004 is still running and minimised in the taskbar. When i click on it FS opens up fine and the sim is
paused, i unpause and land as normal. This happens every time no mater what plane i use!!

Any ideas???

Phil

That is strange indeed. Maybe it has something to do with your graphics card or settings? Anytime my FS9 went away like that, it was a
definite CTD. I'd say you are fortunateWink

I had that problem for two years except it would pop out every five minutes or so. I finally ditched Norton and went with Avast and the
problem vanished. On top of that, my system runs better now. You wouldn't perchance have Norton Anti-virus running, would you?

Hi Valoran,

Nope got McAfee (just as crap as Norton though!!). Strangely i flew the other day from LHR to LIRP and all went well. Bloody XP n bloody
FS2004 anyway hopefully the simming will continue uninterupted from now on.

Sounds like another app. is grabbing "focus" of the operating system GUI. Try using the task manager and ending other non-system
processes, like virus scan, or anything that may be auto-updating on your flights. Possibly the real-world weather is trying to update and
trying to connect to the internet?
