i have just installed this game to my computer and it just gives me a black screen and then after some time it say the program is not responding
I have updated my video card drivers
Like you, I just experienced this problem and read pages and pages of nonsense about how to fix this problem. Here's what I did.
After uninstalling the program, reinstalled first Combat Flight Simulator, then the Aircraft power pak (additional aircraft), then the Mosquito pack.
I went on to the C drive and into the microsoft games folder, right-clicked on the Combat Flight Simulator icon and chose properties-
THE GAME DEFAULTS TO RUN ON WINDOWS 95 and the box was checked to do so! Under the menu, there was no option to select Windows XP, so I unchecked the box, click 'Apply', then 'save' and started the program with no problem.
Not sure why it does this unless maybe it doesn't recognize the XP operating system initially.
