For a start don't over clock your comp, and 2nd you can defrag your comp it works, or maybe just delete some really big files/applications you dont need that will speed it up. Or your could just change the settings on your flight sim. I mean just turn down the graphics etc. That will help.

If you still have probs just reply back.

thanks ukcloud.;)

Whats the reason i shuoldnt overclock my PC cos i know about 3 ppl who have and no problems.

Ill defrag it later and im getting anew grafics card soon, will that help it or not?

one of these (might not spell it right) niveda geforce ones, theyre meant to be really good and u can change the Anti aliaing settings to get rid of jagged edges etc.

thanks though!

It's probably because you have too much installed on your computer. Uninstalling things wont work in most cases. If i was you, i would backup all my files and wipe your computer clean and re-install programs which you really need. Not programs for the sake of it.

Maybe your computer hasn't got the right specifications for the flight sim? How old is your comp?
