Hi KRT,

Sounds more like the PC has disk corruption or maybe a virus / spyware etc - we certainly do not install Google chrome or anything of the sort! Also did you run the OFF Manager (not cfs3.exe) ?. Total clean sounds like the best idea. OFF works on 1000s of PCs so should work fine for you with a clean setup and if you follow the instructions in the FAQ - near the top is the first steps.

Best to contact support if you need help.

Cheers

Noo, I meant that he already had that sort of thing we all know better to untick all those things but stuff happens.
We are following the FAQ but still having some issues; Track-Ir, game dumping instantly to desktop after starting to fly, just weird. I'm trying to figure out what the issue is, maybe a driver. At least it's starting up, and with the right plane.

KRT, you should also check your memory perhaps?
How much do you have?
Is it all still okay and working?

Everything is fixed game works correctly, reinstalled cfs3 and got Track-Ir working and the other problem was a resolution conflict.

Great news KRT thanks for letting us know.

And now we're back to the same problems again, keeps getting a message about missing registry files. I have CFS3 (2 CD's) and I tried the install here because we have similar PC's the only difference is He's Nvidia and Mine's ATI.
I installed CFS to C:/ rather than Program Files and added OFF, it worked first time through without patches so I don't know if that could have anything to do with it. For him it keeps changing resolution to the point he can't see the buttons and quits when it can't find some file or config, I never liked CFS3 and I'm uninterested in playing it, I have way too many sims as it is but I fly modded Il-2 and did a lot of beta testing for HSFX so I understand what mods do and this is baffling. I'll be going by there this afternoon, probably going to clean it out and start all over, then I'm going to make a restore point. Hopefully that will get this resolved.

Remember to patch CFS3 to v3.1, before you install OFF.

I also didn't like CFS3, but what OFF did with that engine is incredible.

I've done it myself more than once, and it's really a lifesaver. However you WILL lose all your pilots

It's not to bad, but if you don't know it %*@)$@&!??????

Sorry missed this comment here, also check his screen DPI settings, see the FAQ as that can cause buttons to go off screen etc. If his resolution keeps changing doesn't sound good maybe driver or video issues?
Also check hard drive for any glitches errors.


Q23. I can not get past the OFF intro movie, after that I see a sepia background but no buttons at bottom of screen?

A23. Go to your desktop and right click on it somewhere empty, select Display Properties. Click Advanced. Change the DPI settings from whatever it is to 120 or 96.
Try OFF again. It may need a reboot first. Otherwise is could be a problem with Windows media player. or video codecs installed. Some have found renaming OFF-MOVIE.WMV to some other name in C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\Videos\ allows the menu to load.

Also best to go via support if you have issues when you are there rather than here which is slower or can be missed as above.
