Known problem. There are two traffic.dll's both by MS. One belongs to the OS and has nothing to do with FS. The other
belongs to FS and has nothing to do with the OS. Some people have had luck with copying the traffic.dll from their
FS2002 Modules folder into their FS2002 folder. This probably won't work if you installed SP1 onto XP as SP1 has been
known to replace all the traffic.dll's it can find on your hard disk.

This should work in any event. Uninstall FS2002. Now open explorer in the FS2002 MODULES folder if it is still there.
Delete the traffic.dll you find there.

DO NOT delete the traffic.dll in your %WIN%\System32 folder. This traffic.dll sits on top of TCP/IP and is responsible
for directing QOS/RSVP network to the Packet Classifier and has nothing to do with FS but has a lot to do with QOS
enabled applications.

Reinstall FS2002. If that doesn't work let us know.

When trying to open fs2002 in past couple of days, I now get a message
saying that it has detected 3rd part software that may not be compatible
[nothing added since I loaded fs2002 a couple of years ago].
The problem appears to be File: traffic.dll and it gives me 2 options to
either load or ignore [yes or no]..both options have same affect which is to
log the opening screen of fs2002 off completely.
I have tried the fix which is suggested in Readme but that doesn't work
either.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programme but still get the same
message when I try to open flight sim..
It also appears that ..traffic.dll..is a part of the M/Soft programme
anyway..!!!!!!!
Can anyone PLEASE suggest what I can try now..?????
