I have newly bought Combat Flight Simulator 3 Battle for Europe and want to
use it on Vista. It will load but will not run but I do get the splash
screen for a few seconds. I get an error message saying the program has to
close and windows will notify me if a solution is available, but I get
nothing. I am able to play the flight simulator movie but the game will not
load. I've tried running it as administrator and aslo with WinXP SP2
compatability and still no luck. Any help, patch or assistance? Thanks

None beyond checking the video and sound accelerator manufacturers' web
sites for newer drivers.

I don't have either FS X or Vista. For Windows XP I usually recommend
running the DirectX Diagnostic (DXDIAG at the "Run" prompt) to obtain
driver version information, accelerator identification and at least
basic DirectX testing.

With video and audio accelerator model AND driver version information
those with the newer simulator and OS might be able to compare their
configuration to yours and advise you of any updates they are aware of

I am wondering if xyzzyplugh resolved this problem, since the product is
advertized to be Vista compatible, and I am tempted to buy it; but only if it
does not have compatibility issues with Vista. Does it???

Είναι συμβατό με τα Vista. Αυτό που πρέπει να προσέξεις και τελικά πάντα
πρέπει να το κάνουμε όλοι, είναι να διαβάσεις προσεκτικά τα requiremenets
του παιχνιδιού (Μνήμες, κάρτες Γραφικών κλπ).
