By default, FlightGear 2.6+ will assume a certain runtime environment and certain GPU features which may not be suppported by most older cards (e.g. shader support), such as GeForce 6/7 generation hardware and most older hardware  (older than 4-5 years), so that it can be expected that FG will probably not work on such computers "out of the box" and may get terminated by your operating system eventually, i.e. the default startup settings will need to be customized accordingly, to disable all unsupported default features. See [[Settings for slower graphics cards]], [[Problematic Video Cards]] and [[FlightGear Hardware Recommendations]] for more details.

Also, make sure you've got the newest driver for your video card installed and running without errors. A suggestion for a thorough updating procedure can be found [[About graphic drivers|here]].
