I installed the game and TSH per the instructions and when I go into the game and try to fly, it crashes. I played around with the ressolutions and comparibility modes (95 and 98) all with no success. I thought that I had previously run this game about 2 years ago and had it working on the same computer. I am running XP with a Nvidea card with the lastest drivers.

I read all the FAQ but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions.

This problem appears to be a graphics card issue as the error refers to the the Nvidia application.

Have you tried updating your video drivers?

I had an issue where I caused a crash by using the wrong resolution. I had the game resolution set higher than the resolution of my Windows desktop. It crashed every time until I set the game resolution lower.

I have the latest video driver for the Nvidia installed. I got it to work once but not again.

Try setting your game resolution to your desktop resolution, like Wizrd34 said.

Although that may work for some, it didn't work for me. I had to set my screen resolution lower, first, then match my game resolution to the new, lower screen resolution.
