I dont know what it is but fs2004 is malfuntioning with serious problems. So at first I start the flight/take off everthing seems to be ok. Midway through the flight my internet disconnects saying the bufferzone is exceeded. Then things start going downhill. Taskmanager doesnt work and when tried to be opened it comes up with a big error message. Everything starts getting error messages/even things such as adobe reader. By now squawkbox has disconnected. ACARS has disconnected and closed due to an error. Finally fs2004 starts to lag/freeze and finally shuts down. Basically the whole computer is by now malfuntioning with error messages. I have no diea what is going on and it is really irritating because i cant even take flights anymore. i have a few addons including FSpax, FSnavigator, PMDG 737 600, 700, 800, 900, PMDG 747 stuff and PSS 777. Does anybody have any similar problems or know what is happening? It seems like my computer is affected by a virus but this only happens with fs2004 is open. Also i have done numerous virus scans and everything seems to be ok...I really need help with this. Oh and im runnign fs2004 v.9.1

Anyone? Anyone? Does anyone know what is happening or is it just no one wants to reply?

Andy,
I am not that knowlegeable, with FS2004, but I had a serious prob awhile back. I was forced to back up data and uninstall. Now everything works fine. This prob. not the answer you want, but if no one else can help...it may be the only thing left to do. God I hope someone has a better idea than me! LOL

sometimes thats the only recourse...i got to the point now where I just reinstall FS9 and add the few things that change the default textures...like night envrioment,trains,fswater,ultimate Terrain,and my add on scenery..I have a second hard drive so I dont lose any data off it when i format my C: drive.
For a long time I was reluctant to install FS9 as it causes so many issues across the board,I miss the outstanding performance I got with FS2002 pro.....
I would get the freeware programs>> CWS Shredder & Elite toolbar remover and run them both in safe mode..then I would see about getting the program called Xoftspy..its made by Pareto Logic and is well worth the few dollars you pay for it...Nothing escapes Xoftspy..I mean Nothing...of course keep your Anti-virus program up to date also...
also...what process do you have running in the background when using FS9 ?..I have to shut my Antivirus and a few other non essential process,and still manage to get crappy FPS on FS9,even though it runs...my main problem is the sim locking up now during spot views while Im panning to get a position for a screenshot....no matter what,everytime I have had to format,when I run FS9 on the new/fresh windows install,there is always some sort of issue with FS9..its never the same issues...FS-X better be a lot better than FS 9 or MS wont be getting my money for it...plain and simple..

When im taking a flight i try to close everything in the background except for essential stuff like Sqwaukbox and ACARS. Hmm I guess i can try to reinstall it but I would really like a better solution if some1 has one. And yeah if FSX is full of this kind of bs then im not buying it...

do not close anything under system or network headers...you're always gtoing to have about 15 processes or so running in the background anyways...
