Hazed-
I am having the same problems. I can drive Panzies all day long, but as soon as I up in a plane I get the Beacon, then lose host connection. Then my computer is locked up, I have to hard boot it up and go through all the scandisk crap.
Here are my specs:
AMD 1.4 GHz
Tyan Trinity S2390B (All the latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers)
Win98SE
ATI Radeon DDR 64MB VIVO (Latest drivers)
Sound Blaster Live!
Direct X 8.1
1024 GB PC133
God, please help us.
