I had always thought not, and there's no reference ito this in the supplied handbook, but after a trouble-free month of flying my FSX has taken to crashing when I change airfields, and visiting the Microsoft FSX website for the first time, I find FSX listed among the MS games which do demand the CD. Could that be the cause of my problem? Do you guys use the CD??

I said 'to run,' not 'to install.'

If you have activated your FSX, then you do not have to use the CD to run FSX  Cheesy
