update...did load 2.11, follwed all the detailed uninstall / install instructions, was very careful on the direct x update. Made a point to not update when I loaded from the original disk, but allow the update on the 2.11 install. Thought that might make a difference. Hasn't crashed so far, but have...

Well I still troll this site regularly and in the back of my mind at some point I will replace XP with Windows 7 and it would not surprise me if this problem went away at that point. I sing the praises of BOBII whenever I get the chance (especially the AI). I went back to look and my first post was ...

Combination of things happened. I rebuilt my machine and was having dinputs error messages ( relates to input devices and direct x) and thought maybe it was the joystick. I bought a very inexpensive Saitek replacement stick ( Cyborg v.1 ) to use temporarily to see if the stick was the problem. Prove...

wow..that was a long time ago. I believe I got an answer from Saitek's website, but I have since replaced the joystick too so not a current issue for me.
sorry for not being too helpful, but couldn't find my old posts on Saitek either.

Thanks Buddye....I will dig into it Strangely enough this was the original problem that sent me down the rabbit hole. The journey exposed the bigger issue I had with the sound card slot in my mother board and am clear of that one now....so the journey was worth while! My computer overall is very sta...

sorry about posting twice, got a quick trigger finger!

Ditto that Bader.....well said!

Well, I have been updating my wife on this thread, since her initial comment sparked the conversation. She was entertained by the responses and commented that perhaps I should start a new thread where spouses commented on the impact of flight sims on their households, getting the perspective from th...

Buddye, 43 years is impressive, my wife and I have been married for 29 years.......thankfully she has developed a serious addiction to Peggle, so she has some understanding.
Happy New Year!
