Since I got my new PC, I have been having some real problem in multiplayer mode. I have tried both SB3 and FSINN and get the same results. A majority of the time its only upon exiting SB or FSINN, and just recently in FSNAV. My whole system freezes up, and the only way out is by resetting my PC. It has been very frustrating, and I haven't done much flying as a result. I try and get 99.9% of my flight done online. LOVE VATSIM I have gone to the point of reinstallin FS9, and still can't get it.
It has even happen with Multiplayer games I have on board. Does anyone here have any idea of what I can do to maybe fix this..Other than samshing my PC and getting a NEW one Well thats gonna happen sooner or later..Kids get this one...

Leonard,
Are you familiar with running dxdiag to test your DirectX? And do you have DirectX 9.0c installed on your system?

I have the same problem with my system when shutting down the multi-player session or disconnecting from the IVAO server. I can always count on a Ctrl/Alt/Del re-start after flying on-line.
The new pilot client is not fully supported by Win98, so that is more than likely the problem I'm having.
I do have the DirectX9.0 installed.

@ Vincent
Yes, I have ran the dxdiag, and everything there is OK.
Some days I wished that the Ctrl-Alt-Delete would work, somedays the Interstate(but it's to far away LOL.
I contacted my ISP and they are shipping me a new DSL modem. Seeing as I have had more problems with it over the last few months, (hmm same amout of time as these issues) I hope this solves my problem. We shall see.

make sure if you have XP, that if you have SP2 you have the app enabled in the firewall, and that UPnP is disabled... you might want to make sure your DSL modem and whatever box you may have it routing through, also has the UPnP disabled.
the UPnP and the firewall settings can cause some havoc...
