G2 starts, plays a couple notes and shuts off

[Ayrborne]

I have read a few of the others that have the same problem, with the Nvidea drivers. I am using an ASUS 8420 v29.40b video card and 6.13.10.2940 is the driver version. Does anyone have any idea if different drivers will work?

I have run the program on my parents old P3 450 and it ticks me off that it won't work on my AMD 2200xp

Still can't get program to run with the 29.40 drivers, any ideas?

I may be passing on old news but I was having the same problems with my system (yes, Athlon + GEForce) and I got a solution from software support this aft. Why haven't they posted it?
Beats me. This is of course a temporary fix but it worked for me and may for you:

Open the file "realflight.ini" in the program directory (default: C:\Program Files\Real Flight)

Save exit & run RFG2! That's it!
(NB Yes, there's a speling mistake. So programers can't spel 'processing'?
