Got the launcher to work, the redistributible version of DirectX 9 worked.

Back to problem #1: It won't start it just displays several black screens and then the desktop.
The debug doens't give me any errors, though it does go to a screen where it slowly turns from grey to white then blue. (very slowly)

So I am back to square one, and I'm getting a little frustrated.

uh, yeah, i don't mean to offend you, dark, but i'm not entirely sure a Windows 98, SE or otherwise, has the horsepower to play FSO.

It does.  I do it all the time.

Don't worry I'm not offended.


Maybe I will just try it on my XP machine. That one should be able to handle updated graphics more easily anyway. Just wanted it on my older computer because that's where my original copy of FS2 is, also it has a really good joystick that isn't compatible with newer machines.

One unrelated question: Why can't my home PC access this site? It gets alfway through loading it and then freezes. I'm posting at my school's computers!

[Cobra]

not the comp, the server keeps going through restarting processes, i think. you posted at the right time.

(or it could be a 56k connection )

It does. I do it all the time.

meh. i'm probably talking out of spite because of my own Windows 98, which has a Pentium 2 450 MHz processor, 7 GB hard drive, etc.

I think it might be due to a program called Xfire linking to its website, is that possible?
