FS2004 WON'T RUN...PLEASE ASSIST

| Symptom:
Bought FS2004 last night. Installed it. Went to run it. Splash screen
appears. Splash screen goes away, screen goes blank (as if it's
adjusting resolution). Then the desktop comes back and there's no sign
of FS2004 ever running - it's like it just stopped.
Hardware/Platform:
XP Sp2
Athlon XP3200 processor, 1GB ram
Plenty of disk space
ATI All-in-Wonder (Raedon 9000 w/ 64MB RAM)
Integrated Sound
No overclocking or any of that crap.
Steps taken thus far:
1) Updated ATI drivers
2) Used direct X diagnostic tool - everything seems to check out OK
3) Downloaded new Flight Simulator 2004 patch
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Did you check if the process appears in the WinXP process explorer? if it is
kill the process and start again.
Once you manage to get the FS screen do not forget to first go to the
settings and set all your parameters, in particular you might want to adjust
the screen resolution to something that your video card supports. In my case
it had automatically selected some low resolution setting.
