ok, I recently had to reinstall pretty much everything. When I go to start FGII now it pops up a screen and it says:

CheckDevice Type failed! error code 16.

Can anyone help me?!?!

I have reinstalled directx and FGII twice now :(

What graphics board do you have? And have you got the latest drivers for it installed?
Error 16 is basically "Not enough Direct X functionality" do you have enough memory allocated to the card if it has shared memory?

unfortunately im not very computer smart....
other than download directx and FGII all I have done is reinstall vista on my pc when it went wonky on me. I wouldnt know what the grafix board is in here but it ran fine when I got the pc originally.

You may have a problem with your Video Card drivers. Have you gotten updated Vista drivers after you changed to Vista?

It did work before right? On this system with this operating system and hardware.

If you've reinstalled the game and that doesn't work the next step is to find the latest drivers for your video card and see if they help.

Hope you get it sorted out.
