Could anyone help me here?

I have jsut installed FS2000 on my machine, but when I go to run it for the first time, it causes a system error whilst it creates the 'scenery indices', citing an error with 'util.dll' , which goes on to cause another error.

Thought someone may be able to help me here.

Many Thanks

ODL

P.S. I have done all the things microtwat suggested such as restarting, scandisk, reinstalling, etc etc etc, but to no avail.

Failing any answers, could someone send me a warez address where i can get a copy. It may be that the aussie edition doesnt like my computer.

Buddy has problems with FS2000 Pro. Blue screen of death whenever he powers up - he suspects it is his video card that is not up to the job.

Recommend u go to the download site and get the latest patches hen try again.

His version is the US version on a UK machine but that said, it should not make a difference unless FS2000 knows it is the US version and sees some conflict in the BIOS which says it is a UK thing.

Try the Flight Sim Forums - bound to be someone who has seen this before!

Thanks EX FTE, but the prob I have is not the blue screen, it is simply one of those ****ing 'Illegal Operations'

Tried the new driver version but it did not help.

Will try the forums...by that I assume you mean Flightsim.com

Try going into Control Panel, Display, and Reduce the hardware acceleration. Not saying It'll work, but it might

Yeah, slowing the hardware accelerator did the trick for me - although it still won't start up occasionally!!
