FSX and activation

I have since 2 years used FSX (SP2 now underway of execution) on Vista with no problems, activation and all. Suddenly two weeks ago FSX starts asking for the activation of the product. After trying several times, I decided to reinstall FSX from scratch, but unfortunately the answer is always "a technical problem has occurred when accessing the online server. When you try to use "Activate by phone" FSX comes with a product Activation error = "Unable to retrieve the product installation ID", which prevents me to activate by phone. I tried to repair the installation of a couple of times - just to be on the safe side - but no difference.

Is the offline activation server or...?
Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards
Klaus

Looks like you will need to call Microsoft and activate the product manually if you don't get anything since if missing the product identification number, the product has not been activated.
All you need is the key that came with your copy of FSX to activate by phone. At least that's what I had to do it once time, I had to call on the phone to activate manually.

  • FSX and FSX acceleration not will not activate after the uninstallation and reinstallation of the following problems with Windows 7 upgrade

    After the upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 Windows 7, I couldn't FSX to load.  It would hang at the splash screen.  This has since been resolved and may have been a conflict between my card graphic and sound card and maybe even my webcam.  I then tried to reinstall FSX.  However, I decided to load up the Accerleration as before, but when I entered the activation code it says after trying that he could not get an answer to the server and to verify that I had an internet session active.  I did, but he always refused to activate.  So I uninstalled FSX acceleration and ran repair on FSX.  But now, he wants the activation code for FSX and when I write this so I always get the message that it cannot get a response from the server, please try again later or check that your internet connection is active.  I have the full internet connection, but doesn't understand why it won't save my activation codes.  I am limited to 30 minutes and cannot be installed acceleration as it wants the code for FSX.  I read on the forum that you can uninstall and reinstall on the same computer as many times you like then why used enable it?  It seems that he doesn't like my internet connection even though I am on the internet.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Hi steve, I managed to install in the end.  I upgraded to a hard drive more that I wanted more space and copied the image to the new drive.  FSX is not yet accept the keys during the installation.  I ran the above utilities (see blog Amritas) to clear the license keys, empty temporary folders and change the registry entry by using 'regedit' on the command line, but still his wouldn't.  In the end, I installed and uninstalled three times until I finally installed it on a partition on the drive and he finally accepted the license keys.  This was done on the original admin user account that I had problems with from the start.  I have now it works.  The utility I used was KB928080 Microsoft.   I can only suggest you keep trying or partition of your hard drive and try and install on the new partition after erasing the license keys and temp folders (see above Amrita).  I can't guarantee that it works well.  To me it's a question of licenses i.e. acceleration has been uninstalled and reinstalled many times so it will no longer accept the license keys.  Happy installing! I don't know how is it frustrating.

    I couldn't find any option in iTunes or iCloud backup specific applications. Please notify.

    Hi Salah

    It is not currently possible to only back up data of health and activity through Apple backup and restore process.

    Health and activity - as well as other sensitive (like password) information - data are included in encrypted iPhone backups.

    It is possible to exclude these data from a backup (by a backup encrypted United Nationsvia iTunes), but it is not possible to only backup and restore sensitive data.

  • List of open and active/Windows Forms displayed within Windows XP 7 v/s windows on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the status bar

    Salvation OR,.

    We found that the list of forms/open windows displayed in Windows XP (on the right by clicking on the name of the application in the windows taskbar) seems to indicate all open and active windows/forms in the application.

    We would like to know how to enable the same functionality in a Windows 7 environment. The best we can do now is to double click on the name of the application on the windows taskbar to switch between active windows/Forms in the application. We would like a menu similar to the windows XP appearance about running on Windows 7 when it comes to this particular feature.

    Thank you and best regards,

    -Ashish

    The taskbard has changed significantly in Windows Vista and 7. You can get a similar functionality to what you call by customizing the taskbar in the taskbar properties. In addition, now press SHIFT key while right-clicking to display a menu similar to what you show in your screenshot, except that it does not display the name of the element. In Windows 7, the feature make you is typically done by hovering over the icon in the bar tasks and selecting one of the points of view which appears above the element.

    You can use the Windows shellapi to do a limited customization of the task bar, but this API is very difficult to use and I would not recommend this approach.

    CVI provides a method to change the name of the item in the taskbar (see this KB), but it does not add the name after the restoration in the context menu.

  • FSX with acceleration gold Edition starts now when I upgraded to Windows 7. It happens just with blue logo start FSX and crashes.

    I ran FSX with acceleration gold edition on my Dell inspion 520 with Windows Vista Edition home premium SP1 and 2 and it worked very well.  Now I updated to Windows 7 Home premium and it just hangs.  I uninstalled FSX and acceleration completely and even delete the directories and given it a clean install.  It seeks to build the database markings and landscapes, and then I let myself just with blue logo start FSX and even after a few hours, nothing happens. It would help if she had an error message, but nothing.  I have also reinstalled the driver for my NVIDIA GEforce 9400 graphics card and checked DirectX and its says its fine.  I have dual core 1.66 32-bit with 4 GB of ram.  Someone has any idea how to solve what Miss me my vol. I tried also to start with compatibility for Win Vista SP1 and 2 settings, as well as Win XP.  I can't get my WinTv Nova-t work either which suggests that it is a graphics problem.

    Hi AMrita,
    I always had the problem last night but I was check the forums and I now after much deliberation to be fixed.  When I go into the Device Manager, I checked all the drivers including the audio player and I was informed that they were all updated and works very well.  Although I had sounds and music I check the setting in 'Control Panel', but this is no software not loaded and nothing is even not a mistake.  I then tried to download the latest software and driver from Realtek for Audio ALC888 and got the following error while installing - an error (-5009: 0x8002802b occurred) previous installation did not finish.  On Googling this error I found a solution in one of the forums that was as follows: to

    Delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\Runtime - folder or rename it, just in case.

    and then run the windows 7 install for the sound card Realtek and it is now successfully downloaded.  The PC restarts, I started FSX and now its running fine.

    Thanks for the help... got in the end and think I could play music and watch a movie and the sound was very good.

    a. press CTRL + ESC.

    b. If the Start menu is displayed, click on the Start menu and then click Properties.

    c. click on the task bar , clear the Auto-hide the taskbar option and then click OK.

    If the problem persists, you can proceed to method 2.

    2 method: Recycle Explorer.exe

    Now go to the file menu, choose new task and type in Explorer in the Open box. Press on enter and explore should restart itself.

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Hello

    The on/off switch actually works?

    Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
    Start - so look at the screen.

    Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
    Re-install of Vista?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.
