Hi,
I know this might be a long shot, but I think I would start looking
at drivers for the sound or video card and anything else that is
different on the two computers. Maybe swaping parts back and forth
might help. I have never seen this problem mentioned before so this is
just hit and miss. It might even have something to do with what
programs you have loaded on the computer that is crashing FS9. It even
could be a program that is running in the backgroud that is causing
this. Can you list what os you are using and the other programs that
are running at the same time?
Wish you luck.
Ed
