FS2004 Problem....

Hi,

First time poster here, so sorry if this has been mentioned before.
Have any of you ever experienced a problem in FS2004 where for all of a
sudden the screen goes black and the sound craps out totally. The only
way to reset this is to restart your machine (via the power switch) as
CTRL+ALT+DEL and ALT+TAB and other key combos do nothing?

Running WindowsXP, Radeon 9700 (Catalyst 4.12 drivers), Audigy2 ZS
soundcard, 512mb RAM.

Any info/tips appreciated.

Ta,

jj

There's quite a few things that can cause this.
