Yes, as long as you have at least one firewall running for protection while you are connected to the internet.

Yep, as long as you are not explicitely surfing the internet, downloading stuff etc... you can perfectly switch off your anti-virus while you play, it will save a lot of ressources. But:
- never, NEVER turn off the firewall, unless you are physically disconnected from any network
- turn your AV on again after you have finished playing.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Try this:

Ok guys the problem is not on the Setup program (The FSX demo) the problem lies on the microsoft Windows Installer , it seems to create a conflict since the demo comes with it.

Second go to Control panel then Add/remove programs and find the Windows Instaler or Windows Instaler KB893803 update, uninstall it. It will ask u that some programs would stop working if you uninstall it don't worry uninstall it. Now go and execute the FSX setup file (Setup.exe), the FSX setup will install the Windows Intaller this will take a couple of minutes then it will ask you to reboot your PC. Reboot it and as soon as windows start back the FSX DEMO install wizard will start automaticly and the FSX will be installed.

Let me know if my resolution didn't solved the issue. It did for me.

There's another solution to this problem, I'm trying to find it. As soon as i get I will post it.

I downloaded the file from microsoft and on installation it said I had a corrupt CAB file.

I think I had the file on my 'junk' drive. I just moved it to 'my documents' on my OS drive, rebooted and run it after that and it installed fine?? No idea why it did what it did in the first place though.

Only go on to servers you trust without anti-virus enabled if playing online too. You could get yourself an anti-virus program that has a very small hit on system resources like NOD32 or something too if you wish it to be running all the time.

Tried it all... Even messing with msconfig (thanks for the info, wagner!), but nothing worked. In fact, I downloaded it AGAIN today to give it a last try... I don´t think it´s a problem with the connection, since it´s the only friggin file that gives me trouble, and I have downloaded some big files in the past....

Nothing seems to work with that file... well, I guess that I´m sticking with FS9. After all, I don´t think my PC has what it takes to run FSX... Sad

Still, I would have loved to give it a try...

thanks all for the info though.... If anybody has another idea, I´d love to hear it.

cheers.

I had that issue once, found out I had a bad router. Disconnected the router, everythign worked good. Reconnected, gone corrupt. I reflashed bios's, tried different settings, nothign would fix it. So I won't be buying any Linksys in the near future (this is why I have a D-Link router now). You may look into that.

I have a Belkin wireless router that allows three of my family's computer to link in a wireless network. The demo managed to download perfectly through that.

That's not the point. The point is is that my router failed. It used to work fine, but it malfunctioned and does not any longer. I'm just saying that this may have happened to his once perfectly working unit also. One day your Belkin may fail too....
