Try System Restore
Go into System Restore, Look at the calenders for any updates that were installed just before you shut down your PC and after you turned it back on , Look for any security updates and any new service pack updates
wsmwsm by chance did you install microsofts update for the conflicker virus.it shuts down autorun.i had to go back to a restore point before it was installed.problem was gone.
That may be the problem I had on the older computer and I thought it was the game.Since I've had the new computer,(after the 'Ficker' threat) it hasn't done it. Thanks Slip Stream,hope that helps WSM!
Heres to "Lady Luck" WSM! :ernae:
I receive "important" windows updates automatically. I did not install anything manually.
Does anyone know which updated is for the "ficker" virus (which I've never heard of)? Was this recent, meaning within the past few weeks?

I've got a similar problem......
I have used CFS3 for quite a while on this particular machine, but last week I had to replace my HD and CFS3 hasn't worked right since. It installs and configures fine and everything works well until I go to fly. I got into the P-47 and was sitting at the end of the runway with the engine idling. I pushed the throttle forward and the picture froze but you could still hear the engine idling. After about 20 seconds the screen starts to move again and I'm either in the air or in a pile at the end of the strip. (see screenshot 1) I took a screenshot of what I thought was the plane frozen on the runway, but when I looked, the shot was the plane airborne, but closer to the field. (screenshot 2) That tells me that the game keeps running, but the screen remains frozen for a time.
The machine runs all of my other sims fine. Rise of Flight couldn't be better and it is extremely resource hungry. It just seems to be a problem with CFS3 and consequently OFF BH&H, ETO,PTO etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

CFS3 is dead to me. I've tried everything. Intalling, reinstalling, re-booting, reconfiguring, restoring my computer to an earlier windows update, "clean booting", using different CDs, you name it. Nothing works. Sometimes it runs acceptably; most times, it closes in a few minutes. The CPU runs fine. It's not overheating, nothing is amiss. Everything else is normal.
After years of regularly running of CFS3 - for unexplained reasons - the sim is no longer viable.

Is there no solution to this problem? I've searched every site I can think of without any information to solve this. I've run a registry cleaner, rolled back my graphics driver, uninstalled then reinstalled the sims (e.g. PTO, OFF) AND followed every suggestion, but no go.
The only thing I note, thus far, is that it has not yet affected my reinstalled vanilla CFS3. Other than that, no clue.
PS: I do run Vista, but it has not been an issue in the past. All of this suddenly happened recently.
