I'm having problems running Flightgear-0.9.8a on WinXP, and the problem
seems to have at least two parts:

1)When I try to start it with fgrun, the GUI window comes up, but as soon
as you select a plane, it crashes with an error box.  If you don't select
a plane (leaving it with the previous setting), you can finish the wizard
but nothing happens.

2)From the command line using runfgfs.bat, I get "Unknown exception in
main loop.  Possible causes: no error."  From previous posts to the
mailing lists, this is supposed to be caused by sound driver problems, but
I doubt that this is the case here, since I tried running it with
--disable-sound and it was no help. I have a VIA 97 sound card with the
standard driver.

In general, I'm a Linux user and I'm trying to get this to work on Windows
for my kids, so I'm a bit unused to some of the XP interface.  In
particular, where does FG put its config files under Windows?  Also, I
tried running it with --log-level=5, but couldn't find where the log info
was going.

Thanks,

Frank Yawitz
