I ran 0.9.8a on a 1.8Ghz P4, Me, 32Mbyte Nvidia GeForce2 MX card with almost no problems. Certainly none that stopped enjoying the FG flying experience.

0.9.9 won't even load, the general gist of the threads on this subject seem to be suggesting that various features are disabled in the preferences.xml to try and find out what's stopping it running.

I'll be trying this when I get a chance.... really looking forward to the new features but its a balancing act with actually getting some flying in!!

I have been using FlightGear since 0.9.4, and all previous versions of
FlightGear ran fine on my old motherboard with i810.  So, I'm sure his i845
would have no problem with FlightGear.  I can bet that 0.9.8 would run fine
on his machine while 0.9.9 doesn't.

Several people, including me, have been experiencing problems with FlightGear
0.9.9.  For me, I actually began experience problems ever since I started
using 0.9.8 CVS.  We have one similarity: we don't have Nvidia card.  While
we could all get ourselves Nvidia cards and get around the problem, I really
don't see it as a realistic option.
