Original title: air combat Simulator 2

I have Windows Vista 64. CFC2 was great for about a year and then alll of a sudden it stop working. I was told to support re - install. It will not let me install now. What should I do to get it working again?

Hi lawdawg6160,

1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

2. you receive messages or error codes?

The game doesn't seem to be compatible with Windows Vista, here is the link for compatibility.

You can check out the following link and try the steps and check if that helps:

Try to install the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and check if it helps.

  • Combat Flight Simulator 3 will not drive install

    The drive, which I bought, Combat Flight Simulator 3, cannot be read by my computer, 3 XP, Windows 8.  I tried different ways to install this drive, but all without success.  Microsoft Diagnostics can not read or the other.  As far as I can check my computer has all the requirements for this game, but I didn't even get an error message.  Various ways to install just to bring the error message, insert the disk when the disk is already in the drive.  I have a funny feeling that the disc is a complete space, that I have been ripped off by the seller.  If this is the case, then I'll send the disk to Microsoft (very) and ask them to investigate the seller.  Comments, please.

  • Combat Flight Simulator 2 gives me a msg incompatible cfs2 and does not work on Windows 7.

    Combat Flight Simulator 2 disk #1 install.  Disk #2 installs but won't allow game to run.  A message, incompatibility problem: cfs2, appears on the screen.  I tried the "older versions of programs do work under windows 7 (who has worked on both Vista and XP) but not prevail.»  How can I solve this problem?

    Thank you for your help.

    CFS 2 will run on Win7. I installed it on Win7 64 bit.
    I haven't used compatibility but XP sp2 would be the best option.
    To select a compatibility mode R/click on the shortcut of the games and click on properties.
    Then click on the Compatibility tab.
    It may work better if you install using compatibility mode. To do this open the games install
    disk, and then use the Setup.exe to put in compatibility mode before installing.

    It could also be a permissions problem. Check the "Run as administrator..." option on the Compatibility tab.
    I avoid permissions issues when installing do not play to the default location - Program Files (x 86).
