Eric, why 1024 will be the maximum setting and not more?

The most important here is that you set initial and maximum size the same value. In that way windows won't change the size of your swapfile all the
time which also will prevent fragmentation. I think that's what Eric meant...

When it brings up the error report, click the button that says 'show me what this error report contains' or something to that effect. Copy and paste
the entire report here.

I posted too soon. I pressed my luck in loading a saved flight and got bit in the ass. I had just landed at Narita and after I responded to
the handoff to Ground, everything went black except for the mini-report. Thus, I am completely stumped as to what is the real root of the
problem. I know I have seen several people with the same problem, perhaps there's a common thread in hardware or something. Just
in case anyone is interested here's my specs:

2.6 GHz P4 (Dell Dimension 8300)
512MB RAM
128MG ATI Radeon 9800
SB Live sound card

I believe everyone when they say the saved flights are buggy, however I never had a problem with any crashes like this in FS9. I am going
to completely stop using the saved flights, but I just don't understand why this was not a problem earlier (pre-FSP).

Hi Garrick,
Sorry to hear you're having problems. I had a lot of problems once with a shop bought computer where I had no problems at all with any
other software and everyday use, but Flight sim would CTD for no apparent reason. Tried everything, then in the end because I had 2
sticks of 256MB memory I removed one, tried flight sim again and CTD. Swopped them around and Bingo no CTD's. Bad memory stick.
The trouble with MFS is it will search out and use every bit of memory you've got and if it come's across any bad bit's, CTD's. Always build
my own computer now and I make sure it's got the best and fastest memory sticks I can afford. Also go for 1 GIG of memory.

Anyway hope you sort it out, it can be very frustrating I know. If there's problem running MFS I've already had it and solved it..

Hello SAVAS,

dll crashes are a pain. Luckily I was having only g2d.dll and g3d.dll and did a search on google. Found a forum where someone
who
was having no issues created a download of both their g2d and g3d files and viola, Ive had no crashes since.

I too have some time g2d.dll CTD issues...

Can you tell me more about and post a link toward the forum and/or toward the download where you find the solution?

please please please
