Can any body help, am trying to run CFS 3 on an Acer Aspire 120E and it fails
to run, video chipset is SIS 661 FX with 32 MB RAM. Have done all the obvious
stuff such as upgraded the video drivers and direct x. Also loaded the
upgrade for CFS. Still no joy - is this chip set ever going to work - has
any body else had this problem. Sysmptons are - game loads up (only of
safest mode) - when you select fly the game ends and you are returned to the
desktop !!.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi LJM,

Do yourself a favor. If you want to play games that require more than
standard desktop graphics, such as CFS III install a graphics card in
your system, that is at least DX 8 compatible. The starting price for
such cards is less than some games. It's an important gaming investment.

Hi Brn_demoss@.com,

If you have a laptop computer, it's difficult to upgrade your video card,
however if you have a desktop computer, visit your local computer shop,
and order any nVidia or ATI (DX8/9 compatible) card which suits your
budget. If it's a family shop, they might even install it for no extra charge.

Took your advice and bought and installed a new video card, Radeon 9550 with
256 MB of RAM. Unfortunately it made no difference at all so I guess the
problem is not related to the video card ? Have updated all the other drivers
on the system but still no joy. Saw another thread on this community with
someone with the same problem so I don't think its just me .

Any other ideas ??
Cheers

Hi LJM,

You originally posted that your graphics card did not meet the requirements
of Combat Flight Simulator 3. Now that you bought a new card which is
compatible with the game, you may need to reinstall CFS III so that it can
recognise the new card and setup the ini files it uses accordingly. :-)
