Think you're right (earth-high-9ver3), cfg file goes to level 10! And thats from the original install of Orbiter 060929, yet the resolution was better on the older addon than that which came with the latest orbiter. Is there a high res 10 available ?

2GHz dual core centrino, 667MHz FSB, 2MB L2 cache Processor Up to 1535MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300M G TurboCache Graphics 3GB DDR2 RAM And thanx for the link, I'll try it out after installing Earth tex again

Have been adding some extras to orbiter, such as the new Ravenstar (can't wait to fly this bird) Earth tex ver 9, Moon 9 and Ummu which is needed to run Ravenstar. Since these installments I launched a simple scenario and halfway through, the app crashed, just as before. However, after several...

Thanx for the confirmation. I did notice that by moving folders/files into this directory always launched a number of security dialogs asking for confirmation that I wanted these files in there, the last dialog box was also accompanied by the darkening of the surrounding desktop image. I would...

Strange, now everything works just fine. Didn't disable AVG at all, only exited the sidebar widget thing which serves no useful purpose. Also installed orulex, DGIV and Orbiter Sound. Will perform a backup of system settings before installing any extra stuff. hopefully, if it all goes pear...

It may be AVG 8 doing the dirty on zip extraction, and although I did exit AVG, or at least I thought I had, it appeared to still be running. I then disabled all the features that I could, didn't make the slightest difference. Its also possible that AVG may have alterred a file during...

Thanx, I was Coming to think nothing positive was going to occure here. I have kind of got round the extraction bit by simply persisting with the explorer crashes and continuing with extraction bit by bit after every restart of explorer. I have also got the orbiter scenario launcher up. I have...

A good point, but I'm not really all that bothered about reinstalling an OS thats as bloated as Vista anyway, besides, even this act would invalidate the warrenty. I would have to claim on the warrenty and have the PC serviced by the manufacturer, this would be the correct procedure. However I...

I was refering to XP on my old Dell desktop. Its fine so long as it doesn't go on any kind of network. Still doesn't have the cappacity to run Orbiter though. 256mb ram, thats why. Its replacement has 3gigs and dual core, Vista takes up more or less one third of that. :rofl:

Unfortunately not. And I will not throw good money after bad by purchasing a copy of what I assume I have already purchased once. I may say, Stuff the warrenty and install XP instead, as I do have the disks for that OS still and I know it runs ok so long as it has the space and willingness to...

Yes, I too have done a clean install without the superfluous crap. And NO it did not help, which is why I had to replace it with such urgency. I still have the old PC, now its in the garage without antivirus or any network connections, now it works fine. Its the stuff thats compulsary that's...

I have seen linux and like it, anything that does its job in a stable manner and doesn't take up most of the hardware's resources has my interest. But, it is impossible to purchase a PC with a 2 GHz dual core centrino, 3GB ram and nvidia G-Force built into it and have Linux. No one recomends it...

The warrenty refers to the hardware. During zip extraction AVG antivirus starts scanning, well, insofar as it sends an icon to the system tray at exactly the same time as windows explorer crashes. on further investigation I find AVG has not started scanning. Going offline and exiting AVG does...

I have just purchaced a new Portable Desktop Replacement Laptop PC thingy because I needed to, so as to continue with business related stuff, due to this urgency I have this excellent PC that, unfortunatelly runs on windows vista. Not by choice but necessity. The warrenty does not allow me to...

Thanx everyone, just as I thought, and with lots more expert advice than I expected in such a short time. Seems like lots of you are also tired of Messy Software. Its nice to know some are doing what they can to make possible the functionality of Orbiter on Linux (Artlav). Wine doesn't seem any...

Hi I really miss Orbiter, as it no longer runs on my PC. You know the story, old computer running on an increasingly bloated microsoft OS. So, I am wondering if Orbiter can run on the Linux OS. The reason is that I have become somewhat averse toward microsoft and all the problems that come...
