[Tom Eutsler]

Took out RF long ago - would not work ,worked for a time anyway - lately
got new geforce 2 video card 32mb - cided to instal again.When trying to "fly"- i get the following : error opening O:\scenery disk1\image\planes\extra 300s.pln
then I get Invalid page fault - closes up
Program opens UP OK ,but can't fly - have directX 8.~ but have not updated the classic RF - as I deleted all the updates sometime ago when it quit
working ?? Any Ideas ? as I wanted to buy Update to G2 Thanks TE

What's your OS?

You need to install and then before you fly, update. The updates fix some of the problems and the earlier versions may not run properly with DirectX 8.1. Also the drivers of Geforce cards may cause conflicts with older versions. Even though the Geforce cards work better than most others.

Goodluck...

Much Obliged, did get the update first for basic
RF - installed - then got rid of everything in back ground Cept Explorer and Systray - Wah-la
IT works again. Now I can get the G2 version ?
Wished i had known a recomendation about Video
cards before buying the GeForce one :) Any suggestions on a better Card ?? for RF - much obliged . TE

There is not a better card that I know of. It does cause some problems because the latest drivers are really uptodate and if running an olderprogram on them there might be a conflict. Using G2 there should be no problem at all due to the Geforce drivers. But if using Win2K or XP they cause some diff. since they are so buggy.

Goodluck...
