• I installed a flight simulator which caused my screen to zoom in and I can restore to the original... any thoughts?

  This occurred after that I installed a microsoft Flight Simulator (2004 version)

  Hello

  There are a few things you can try:

  Change the resolution of the screen;

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  Then try to change the screen resolution.

  Or do a system restore to before that happened.

• Failed to install Microsoft Flight Simulator. Will not pass the installation wizard.

  Failed to install Microsoft Flight Simulator, Version Deluxe 2010. I am running Windows 7 Ult 64 bit. The program will not install, it's an error that it cannot find the file. I tried everything, but it does not install. This is the full version of three discs.

  Following up on this question. I have install and it will go through the wizard of the insulation. Then, it will come with a large screen. He stays there and then says after 15 minutes. «Unable to launch vcredist_ * 86.exe.» I press ok and a error number "the system cannot find the path specified in 3. Press ok and then it states that the system has not changed except for... »

  I am convinced that Flight simulator is not intended to be run on a 64-bit computer that is very disappointing. I have a program which should install without all the aggravation I had to endure. If you run them 64-bit machines do not buy this product. I tried since it first came out. I feel at the moment where I get it going it will be a version dated date out. Wait until there is a version dedicated 64-bit, you will save yourself a lot of grief. I have an Asus dual core Centrino 2, 2.6 GB h. computer laptop with 4 GB memory. I install my DVD direct program. It worked when the computer is a 32-bit computer.

  What finally worked for me when I tried to install MSFSX Gold Edition has been that I copied the disc 1 FS to my office.  Then I copied the contents of the FS 2 disc and put the files in the same folder.  When're asked you if you want to replace the files with the same name on both drives say no.  It seemed to work well for me when nothing else did.

  I haven't read of anyone doing this exactly, it's my own invention/workaround bit AFAIK. Hope this works for all of you who cannot make it work otherwise.

  System:
  ASUS G50v-t
  Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino 2, 2.26 GHz
  NVIDIA GeForce 9800 m GS 512 MB

  My Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas joystick worked perfectly on FS2004 installed on my laptop.  Suddenly, no reason apparent FS2004 no longer recognizes the joystick.  The same FS2004 is installed on my PC and the same joystick works OK.  I did controls are: USB - two OK ports.  Uninstalled then reinstalled FS2004 - same problem, perform a restore of the system in September - the same problem.  FS2004 runs OK via the keyboard, he simply refuses to recognize the joystick.  Anyone have any ideas?

• Getting Flight Simulator 2004 to run in Windows 7

  I followed all 10 steps in the Microsoft support article.  I installed the latest drivers.  Flight Simulator will run in mode full screen 800 x 600.  Whenever I hit the key to the menu at the top of the window, the game stops.  I choose the options in the menu, but the menu disappears when I reactivate the game.

  It is becoming too much of a hassle for just a simulator and I think seriously just get rid of it and find another simulator which is fully compatible with Windows 7, because FS 2004 certainly isn't.  I don't care if Microsoft thinks it is.

• 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).

  You have installed all the 'important' Windows updates?
  You have patched the game?
