I have not been able to start SB3, I am running FS 2004, FS runs fine ,but when I start SB (from the modules pull down) I get the first SB screen saying starting host session. That is where it freezes, The screen sweeps to the desktop and FS shuts down, the computer runs very slow for a while, then is ok. I have tryed uninstalling everything and reinstalling (FS2004 and SB) but get the same results.

if you go into a command prompt on your machine and type "ping localhost" does it reply from your machine....

I am asking this as I am just gathering information......

I did that and it came back: could not find local host

Did you put in "localhost" or "local host"? There should be no space.

Well I tryed again and got a reply from 120.0.1

Bob Gomes · Joined: 26 Mar 2005 Posts: 14

that should have read 120.0.0.1

127.0.0.1?

If so, that is correct...

What Antivirus / Firewall package are you using? What router?

I have McAffe virus and zone alarm pro firewall, I'm not too computer savy so I don't know what router

I havn't flown with SB for almost four years, (divorce grounded me) and can't wait to get back, bought FS 2004 just so I could use SB3, I'm sure this will be resolved and we will all be flying with this great community of pilots and controllers

I am seeing a lot of issues reported on machines with McAfee. Are either of you willing to uninstall McAfee and try it? It would help us narrow down issues....

Would turning it off work?
