Thankyou sir, for your reply to my post, i have found away round the problem i mentioned in my first post, Instead of choosing view options, on the fs2002 menu I choose view mode and can then choose spot plane or tower view e.t.c without the machine crashing. However I am finding running fs2002 a problem i.e. the screen stutters at times e.t.c, I may install windows XP on my machine I may find Fs2002 runs better on there, as it does run better with XP on my laptop,

Regards
