A quick question... In what directory is your FS9 installed? Mine is in the default C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/FS9... and I know almost everything have an issue with the permissions.

I am going to uninstall mine, reinstall directly in the C drive. Maybe it will help?

Be SURE when you un-install, that you carefully search for and remove all of the various files and folders which the un-install routine will leave behind. If these are not removed your new install may be compromised.

Hope that helps.

Paul,

I too stuck with XP for as long as possible but changing my laptop recently forced me to go W7. Installing outside the 'program files' route (with user access control turned off) means that I've had no glitches whatsoever with FS9 and W7. I even got my old FSNav 3.0 working under W7 - and now I can run detailed stuff like Gary Summons' Heathrow and Gatwick Extreme with impunity, at 1920x1080 res.

Preparation is all!

Do you know what... Shocked

....

I thought Windows 7 was supposed to cure any problem Users were having with Windows Vista... Roll Eyes

....

....instead...it seems to have created a new set of problems to confuse the unwary User!.... Cry

....!

I think if I was going to "purchase" a new computer to run all my many existing programs, I would have to insist that it had Windows XP Pro Sp 2 installed at its heart!.... Wink

....!

Paul..G-BPLF..Win XP Pro SP2.... FS 2004....and no problems... Kiss

...!

I still insist on using Windows XP SP3! I might upgrade to 7 eventually, but XP is really stable for me, and works fine with everything so far!

Do you ever wonder if M$ is regretting making XP? Grin

I'll switch to something else, when they finally find a way to erase XP from my system without me being able to stop it. Wink

I think just about every problem that is experienced with Vista & 7 comes from the UAC. Worst piece of software ever made.

Windows 8 is going to be XP repackaged. Cool

By the time MS makes another OS, or stabilizes 7 more, Aerosoft or Cascade will have a new Flight Sim out with Mac compatibility. Bye-bye MS!

In 7 it's way easier to turn UAC off, just a setting in the admin section I think...

I am on Vista for a few days, hating it Angry

I love Windows 7, it took a couple of days to get used to and work out the quirks. But now I can't go back to XP. I need Direct X 10, Direct X 11, and the UI is just soooo pretty.

I'm warming up to Windows 7, too. I haven't dug into it too deeply, but I'm sure it's everything XP was and more. I'm still using it like XP. I never had a Vista machine, so I can't compare Vista to 7. I do love the Snipping Tool. Makes taking a screenshot (of anything) very easy...

I use Revo Uninstaller. It gets EVERYTHING. I uninstalled an airplane once. Revo found something like 700 leftovers. Get Revo. It's free...

I believe you will find they now charge for the Win 7 version of the Revo Uninstaller.

At least I think that is what i saw the last time I visited their site.

My computer guru has a bunch of programs on a 128Gb flash drive. Revo is one of them. Had it for a year, now. He puts it on every computer he builds and asks if the owner would like it on every machine he repairs. Others are Malwarebytes and Glary Utilities. I run both every night before shutdown to cleanse my system. Never had a problem in the year since my "facebook meltdown" that caused me a ton of pain and a fortune to fix what that infernal site did to my machine. I also run NOD-32 anti-virus. It's the best...
