2. "RE: GEForce 4 Problem"

Hi Ben,

Well, I **THOUGHT** I knew what I was doing in the OLR. Didn't realze it purged read messages automatically, so when I read your answer and then went off to tweak my computer, I came back to find I couldn't easily reply. So I'll copy & paste this online.

In any case, to answer your questions, as best I recall them:

The machine is a P3 850 w/ an Asus P2B mobo. 512M of memory. No second vid card. I'm running 1024x768 32-bit screen resolution. Turning the accelerator slider down may've helped at the 'disable DirectX' setting, but didn't at the less agressive settings.

You gave me an idea, and I went prowling around the BIOS. There I found both Video Bios Cache and Video Ram Cache disabled. Flipped those switches and since then I've made a couple of flights w/ FS & flown a mission in CFS2 w/o a lockup. Early days yet, as I say it hasn't been predictable, but certainly encouraging.

Thanks for the help.
Mark
