Phoenix Demo crashes, will full version work?

[rexxy]

I downloaded the phoenix demo, but it crashes as soon as I run it.

Does this mean the full version will do so too? Seems likely to me.

This is a shame as its putting me off buying it...

I have Windows XP Pro SP3, on a Sony Vaio VGN-FS laptop with a Pentium 1.6Ghz and 1Gb of RAM.

It runs aerofly deluxe no probs.

Should be fine if its running aerofly pro deluxe. Try contacting Runtime. Does it report an error or just freeze? Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date also.

Reinstalled it, updated all my graphics drivers & direct X and it still crashes on the loading screen with no error of any use.

Oh well, will stick to Aerofly Delux

bummer....its not a firewall thing is it?

Wouldnt have thought so. Never mind, I'll probably get a new 'puter next year.

Did 2 packs at the Romsey site I've started going to in my lunch hours yesterday. Have started doing a bit of inverted hovering now. The Druids site is much better of course. Hopefully we'll get some good weekends and I'll see you up there for a demo of your 3d mastery

Dont think its a problem with your computer.
I'm running Phoenix with no problems BUT, I have just downloaded the demo and it just crashes. So it seems to be a problem with the demo, NOT the Phoenix program itself.

Aha! Thats very interesting, thanks. Hardly gives you confidence to buy it eh! I was hoping the demo would prove it was worth buying on my aging computer!
