IT WORKED !!
Well I just went ahead and installed the g2 upgrade and everything went great and i am up and running in win2k and dx8 no problems. Well except I have to run in 16bit color or i get an error.
I really like the user interface and all the options you can make without getting out of the sim. Great job KE!
I have to turn most of the visuals of to run smooth so I guess i need a graphics card upgrade soon, or it may be this 450 PIII. Anyway I am happy with them off so maybe not.
