combat flight simulator 3 wont start

mecoatwar · 12-29-2006, 09:47 PM

I just got a new samsung 22 inch LCD widescreen for Christmas and now CFS3 wont even start it shows the start menu to choose if you want to uninstall it or not or want to play it, then I click play and it actually begins to start then just exits out and then nothing. What should I do?

have you tried reinstalling the game yet.just a small hint something i always do try to disable as many running programs as possible when installing games.certain programs like an antivirus can interfere with game installs(some not all)

will avg free edition interfere or zonealarm firewall?

its possible you would only need to disable them for install.i looked at your other thread about fsx i will be responding to it to

ok I fixed it. you were right just needed an reinstall, oh one more question what would you recommend as the best antivirus thats free, AVG is antivirus correct, and how good is zonealarm?
