.. and all is well.
Microsoft Combat Flighter Sim 3 installed ok and works well. Even taking into account the basic NVidia driver, I can run the game with all settings at 5 (the highest), and it really feels like one is there. Unfortunately, it doesn’t improve one’s skills at piloting [:$].
PerfectDisk 8 has given problems. It will defrag what it wants to defrag, in this case everything but the third partition on my primary drive. I have tested the drive, and still PD 8 will not play ball with it. I have uninstalled PD now and await Diskeeper which I prefer anyway.
