I am having some problems with my FS2004. I will be able to fly for sometime
and then "ALL" of Vista will just lock up. It only happens with this game. I
have 3 GB ram and a ATI Radeon 9600 pro but this always worked good in
winXP. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it not freeze
up??

I dont have any addon scenery installed and i have tried deleting my
fs9.cfg.
 
I had this problem until I found out that if you disable Vista Aero, it will
run in all windows modes with no freezing.
 
Also if you right click on the short cut for Flight Simulator and select the
compatibility tab and check "Disable desk top composition" Vista aero will be
disabled while in Flight simulator and reenabled when you exit.

Click to expand...

I think you also want Disable Visual Themes to make sure Windows switches
to Vista Basic Aero. Desktop Composition basically changes your desktop
into a video player for various effects (DreamScene) So disable both, just
in case.
 
There should be an icon in Start/Programs/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator
2004. Right-click on this shortcut and choose properties then the
compatibility tab to finds the option that you are looking for...
