I won't be so sure. My notebook with ATI X1300 that is able to run FG 1.0.0 crash ( BSOD ) when trying to run FG OSG. Maybe a driver problem but unfortunately Dell hasn't release a new one for age and stock ATI driver refuse to install on this notebook. Hopefully graphic card for desktop computer is another story ... -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://my.fotolia.com/frfoto/ Photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
