| Junior Member Rep Power: 3  |  Flight Simulator 2002 on Vista? I have installed without apparent difficulty FS2002 on Vista Home Premium. The program appears to run but the videos in the getting started section deliver sound only, no picture. This on a new Gateway GM5478 with an nVidia GeForce 8500 GT graphics card. Are there adjustments required to make the program run properly? |

Hi, KenVISTA, and welcome to the forums. You might try Vista Codec Pack - 32bit & 64bit Media Player Codecs |

| Junior Member Rep Power: 3 | Re: Flight Simulator 2002 on Vista? Thanks John for the suggestion. The description of the Codec Pack sounds pertinent and its download and installation appeared successful. However there is no change in the behavior of FS2002. The beginners' video screens continue to be limited to audio with no video. Ken |

| Junior Member Rep Power: 3 | Re: Flight Simulator 2002 on Vista? Welcome center says I have a 32bit system. That doesn't seem to speak directly to VISTA. My Gateway GM5478 is described as having an Intel Core2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz with 1.98 GB RAM and an nVidia GeForce 8500 GT graphics adapter. |

| Junior Member Rep Power: 3 | Re: Flight Simulator 2002 on Vista? Thank you. No I was not aware of that. It shows a FS2002 site and that leads to updated graphic adapter drivers. I downloaded and installed a new driver for the nVidia card without any benefit. I did try looking at the videos on the MSNBC site and they do work so I'll keep looking for clues on the site you id'd. |

I did when I was first responding as I showed you the Codec package. However, that link is one of many links related to FS 2002 that M$ has set up - might be worth your time to explore more of those. |

| Junior Member Rep Power: 3 | Re: Flight Simulator 2002 on Vista? Thanks, John. I'll look around. At least I seem to have verified that FS2002 is believed to run on Vista Home Premium. |
