Hi guys.

SDOE is crashing to a Sky blue screen all the time on me now.

It just goes to a full screen the same color as a cloudless SDOE sky with no sound.

This is happening online. I havn't flown much off line.

Its happening in about half the games I play online. Its almost worse then a CDT cause you have to reboot sometimes to get out of it.

Hitting ESC + Enter sometimes gets me out of it but by then I have crashed.

Nothing proceeds this.

I'm going to do a fresh install and NOT put in the new beta patch and see what happens then.

I've had something like that happen, when a dialog box pops up in the background. I'm using the fabulous (not!) FreeInet, and every now and again it gets a page cannot be displayed error for its little banner. That error causes SDOE to lose its place at the forefront, even though it looks like it still has focus. And, I lose sight of my plane, I'm just stuck in the clouds. For me, SDOE works again if I just click the mouse. That seems to reselect SDOE and I'm flying again... unless my internet connection has barfed of course :-) You could also try ALT+TAB and see if that helps you any.

Ok thanks for the tips.

I'll try the mouse thing if it happens again.

I just did a fresh win98 install days ago. And just reinstalled SDOE last night so hopefully it will all be cool now.
