Hi!

I had those problems with WinXP, no way to use Orbiter at all for a
loooong time. Emulating Win95/98 didn't help, I thought it was due to
one of the XP display driver I had loaded. 
With the new Orbiter version, and maybe some other game soft I
installed, everything's back to normal. I think it comes from XP using
a built-in DirectX8. My DXDiag now says it can perfectly use DX7, and
crashes while testing DX8. Try installing an old version of DirectX.

The ways of XP are somewhat mysterious...
