Thanks Slasher. It's wonderful to know that I'm not the only sad soul playing CFS on a Laptop..I have a lot of 737 time too, so perhaps it's in the family.
I used to have problems making the prog. remember the stick, but after reinstalling the game with DirectX6 and now 7, it seems to be OK. I also make sure that the stick is installed and recognised in control panel before installing CFS. I note that your's is on the USB port, mine is on the MIDI so perhaps that's the difference.
I have been looking at the MS net sight for FAQ's and patches. A couple of answers to graphics and sound can be found on
http://support.microsoft.com/support...-US&SD=gn&FR=0
I've included the two related to AGP and Sound rate, but not much improvement.
I have had no trouble with the damage profile causing slowness. I think I am just going to have to buy a desktop to play games on.
Thanks again for your help.
