Vista and FS2004 - occasional system freezes

Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
AMD 2600+ cpu 2.12Ghz
2G system ram
BFG Geforce 7800GS OC graphics card - 256M
Logitech Force feedback 3D Pro stick
Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2 with 6.1 Intellipoint software

My issues are:
1. System freeze when selecting (with mouse) various in-game options such as
display,weather,sound etc
2. Low frame rates at 1152x864 about 20fps airborne around downtown Seattle
3. Not all joystick button assignments stick session to session
4.Using latest Nvidia WHQL drivers (100.65)


Curious if anyone is having similar issues with FS2004 and Vista

-ps it all played fine on XP

Hey, I don't think I can help you with your problem, I pretty much expect
PC's to not work properly all the time. I get jerky screens too, but I
attribute that to me being cheap in choice of computers.

If you don't mind I have a question of my own. I used to play Flight sim a
lot and recently just got back into it. I noticed though that ZONE.COM
doesn't host online flying anymore.

Do you know anywhere I can go to find people to fly with online?

upgrade to FSX. I did because it was built to run on vista. It ran better in
vista than it did in XP!
