It's Monday now, I've done everything I can could this past weekend to get my sim to open. I know I have the resources to run this program, I've been doing this all along. Fact: FS2004 is so buggy, it's amazing we've been able to squeeze as much life out of it as we have. I just don't know how much longer I can let this game run my life outside work. It's so disappointing to invest so much time, effort, and patience and have it all lost in a single reboot. I'm so bummed, it was looking the best it ever did on my system. Now it appears a total reinstall will be the only fix and that is a 50/50 at best. My two cents, okay I better get off this computer it's depressing me.
