    thank you!
    Now I have another problem, the sim is not running smooth and I have a limited 64 fps with vsync off on winxp. No limits with Vista, but the keyboard is lost.

    You run vista or XP=?= :dunno:

    Vista should not work as far as I know, if it's XP we can talk though ;)
    I have experienced some issues with loosing keyboard in-game if I switch from WB to another application, like when the pesky antiviral proggie jumps in on top or such, all I find as a cure is to restart WB.

    Please make a better description, I dare say there are people willing to try and help you!

    WELCOME by the way :)

    Sorry, I try to explain:
    Running XP sp3 here, the fps are "locked" at 64 with vsync off , no matter if I have a powerful CPU or videoboard. I tried many times to run wb2 with other hardware configuration in the past (XP sp2 and sp3 os), but no good results, the fps are locked at 64fps.

    I tried with Vista, wb2 runs fine and without limits, very smooth, but the keyboard is completely lost.
    Thank you for your help.

    yes, it should be smooth, but the game runs with a light stuttering (it is a stuttering, no typical tearing when vsync is off), and my hardware is able to produce more than 200 or 300 fps running this sim. No other friends have this problem with this sim?

    well you've probably tried turning Vsync ON
    the next thing I can think of is different version of graphic drivers
    reinstalling the whole game (including FHLauncher) won't hurt either ;)

    I can say that during my time on this forum (3 years now) I've never heard of a problem like yours.

    Wb2 don't use much of a graphcard. I think. So it's all (most of it anyway) by processor. So it might not be a hardware problem. Do you have many other progs on at the same time?

    Today I tried with another hardware configuration: videoboard Geforce 6200, monitor crt compag v700, pIV 3000: wb2 runs fine at 42 fps smoother than my home pc (geforce 260, pentium dual core 8200, monitor LCD). Maybe the LCD monitor the problem?

    Might be. Remember that one can play Wb2 with 200mhz Pentium (I played it even with old 486 and 56k modem). New machines might be too powerful for it...

    nonsense, it's all about graphics card driver, especially when it comes to nvidia. just try another driver and turn vsync off, no need to reinstall wb.
