Phil Brooks Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi I have been using Aerofly Professional De-Luxe for several years on XP and Vista, but on my new laptop running Windows 7 it starts to open, then just stops responding. Have tried using the compatability troubleshooter, but nothing happens. I have the latest download from Ikarus, but this appears not to include Windows 7. Have contacted Ikarus, they say that the download might help, but that as they don't support Intel graphics cards they can't guarantee that it will work. Anybody else had similar problems, and if so did you manage to sort it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Brooks Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks Gavin, I tried your suggestion but no luck. Looks as though the problem may lie with the graphics card and not with windows. Oh well, I can still run it on the desktop, but the chair there isn't as comfortable as the recliner in front of the telly. Perhaps it'll encourage me to do less armchair flying and more of the real thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Mack Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You could try going to imtels website and try to find whats called an open gl driver which I think the program uses. Intels site probably has a program that will detect whats graphics is on your computer and popssible updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Brooks Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks again. It seems I have Intel graphics, but a driver supplied by Toshiba. Intel don't recommend changing the driver, and Toshiba can't offer anything better than what's already installed, so I'm stuck with it. Will e-mail Toshiba for clarification, but from past experience it may take a while for a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
