    I am a student pilot and I was recommended to purchase Flight Simulator 2004 and I am having display issues. Please help me
    I am running Vista 64 Ultimate with a Nvdia Quadro NVS 140m with 4GB of ram on a Thinkpad T61 with 2.2ghz duo. For some reason, flight simulator runs fins until you try to change the view say from ****pit to spot plane or you change the day and time from the menu. Switching between windows will also cause a problem. The problem is that the screen appears to freeze, but it hasn't. As the engine sound still changes and all the file menus work. All I have to do is say click the map from the menu and press cancel then the screen returns to normal. I have installed all updates, Does anyone know a fix?

    I think it has to do with Hardware Acceleration, when I unchecked it from FS2002 it worked fine, but the graphics were crap. Does anyone else suffer this issue with FS2004?

    Thanks
