ok, i am not really intending to install sp2, or uninstal sp1 i got now....so i will live with that. I have bought fs2004 as well, but my system is not that fast to play it smouthly and with detailed scenery. by the way, yes when i downloaded the SP it was named sp1a, but now that i see my system properties, it says windows xp, vversion 2002, service pack 1. Anyways....the mystery still exists with the traffic file... Thanks for your attempt to give a solution!! :-(

Well, Hi again pete, and thank you for taking a time to see my problem. First of all.... How things started.. My machine (laptop, sony vaio pcg-gr390) was running originally on winxxp (home), and I had installed fs2002 long ago, and everything was running super! 1 month ago, I bought a hp printer, but it required I had SP1 in order for the printer to work. So, I did my search and I found and downloaded sp1 (around 130mb), installled it in my machine, the printer worked, and everything was working fine with the sp1 installed. It was NOT an update for fs2002, but for the operating system (XP). However, when one day I tried to run fs2002 (that was already installed in my machine), that pop up message appeared (the one i described in my first message) asking me to add or not the new software etc.. Whatever I did, the fs2002 was shutting down on me right away... By the way, the two files fs2002.exe and traffic.dll have the same version (the same with yrs). When I uninstalled the fs2002 after I had installed sp1a (thinking I could resolve the problem), I of course deleted every folder of fs2002. and fs2002 folder too. complete uninstal. So, no corrupt file involved, no version conflict, no installation procedure error..........................What else can it be..? I am guessing it has to do with some kind of conflict with the sp1 that I installed. Thank you for your support so far peter, any new ideas always acceptable...

hello again Pete, and thanx for replaying promptly to my question. I did what you said....deleted my traffic.dll and replaced it with yours in the module folder. What I noticed is that when I click on the icon to start the fs2002, that message about the 3rd Party software is popping up again, like it did when I first opened the fs2002 after I had reinstalled it. So, it is a cycle thing going on... Dont u think there is something wrong with the Service pack 1a that I have installed? I think that it has to do with that, cuz I never had problem with my fs2002 before. if you have an other bright idea about my problem, or I can help you if you got a question ... Thank you in advance... I cant do anything else over here...Maybe Microsoft has to gimme a solution...

Hello people!, Hello mr Peter, I really need the help of someone who knows, cuz I have posted this message to several forums, and I cant find an answer yet.... I hope I find it here :-) i have been using flight simulator2002 on my machine (PIII 512ram, 1.2Ghz, XP). Recently I updated the system downloading the Service pack 1a from microsoft because it was necessary to do it for installing a new printer. SP1a didnt create any problems with a first look..But.... Once I installed it, I noticed that once I open the fs2002, it pops up a message saying: -------------------------------------------- "Microsoft Flight Sim. has detected 3rd Party software that may not be compatible with this version of FS. File: traffic.DLL Do you want to add this software? Clicking NO, it will disable this software YES NO" ------------------------------------------ WHichever I chose (yes or no) the program doesnt start and ends right away. what should I do? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled fs2002, and still the same problem. Please, anyone has any idea what can I do? How can I disable this traffic.dll or to make my fs2002 open????? ** I have already tried to create an (Oldmodules) section in the fs2002.cfg file and set parameters for traffic.dll 1 or 0, but this didnt work.. The program was closing right away...so I am at this point now....** I am in despair... Thank you happy holidays
