• Microsoft flight simulator 2004 help!

  When im downloading the game, I get up to 63% and stops. A message comes up saying "Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 has encountered a disk error while writing the leader to C/Program files/Microsoft Games / Microsoft Simulator 9/Sound/Precip/c2prec3.wav.» Make sure your hard disk is not full or the file is not currently in use"

  I tried to copy the file from the disk on the record Flight sim and he said that c2prec3.wav has been used so I think that's the problem. The only thing is that I don't know where it is in use. Any ideas as soon as POSSIBLE please?

  I also tried downloading it in safe mode and defragment my hard drive.

  I have a Realtek HD Audio sound card.

  When you attempt to play Flight Simulator 2004 game, it crashes.

  This can be caused because of third-party software, problem with the video driver or sound driver.

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 required administrator rights

  I have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (I know, I know) and when I try to run it from a limited account, I get an error stating that I have administrator privileges. Is it possible to replace that or enter my password once? I don't need my children asking me my password every time they want to play. It doesn't seem like it does all what changes the computer, why can't it be used in a user account only limited?

  Specifications of the computer:

  • HP (not sure of the exact model number)
  • Windows XP SP3 (fully updated)
  • AMD Athlon X 2 Dual Core 4400 + @2.19 Ghz
  • 1 GB OF RAM
  • Graphic ATI Express 200 Radon

  I don't mind enter my password once to grant access, I'm not only you have to enter it every time my kids want to play. Thank you for your help.

  This is normal.

  As a work around, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the shortcut or the name of the program file.
  2. Click Advanced, click run with different credentials, and then click OK.
  3. Start the program.
  4. When you are prompted, type an administrator user ID and password.

• During the installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, the following error occurs: the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using.

  Former title: Microsoft Flight Simulator will not install on Windows 7

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I try to install MFS 2004.  The first 3 discs work fine, but when I insert disk 4 to complete the installation, I get the following error message:

  "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using.  Check your computer's system information to see if yo need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »

  What can I do?

  Hello
  
  1. which edition of Windows are you using? Is - this edition is 32-bit or 64-bit?
   
   
  Given that the game is compatible with Windows 7, I suspect that the conflict can be 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
  The link below shows the compatibility of this game with Windows 7.
  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Flight%20Simulator%202004%3A%20A%20Century%20of%20Flight&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=1&pi=3&c=PC%20Gaming&sc=Simulation%20%26%20Driving&os=64-bit
   
   
  Method 1.
  We must ensure that the edition of the game must correspond with the operating system.
  If you use 64-bit in this game, you need the 64-bit Windows to install it.
  Method 2.
  If the above information matching I you recommend to start the computer in clean condition and then try to install the game.
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

• Investigation of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 disc

  I bought FS 2004 a few years ago and installed on my old computer and really enjoyed playing.

  I recently bought a new computer running Windows Vista Basic, like my old office was getting old enough and a lot of problems develop. Therefore, I uninstalled all the software on the old computer, so I could reinstall some of them on the new computer.

  I managed to uninstall MS 2004 and had all the disks and the necessary information for the installation on the new computer, however I was distracted during the instalation and was busy making dinner in the kitchen.

  During this time my three year old son thought it would be interesting to test the longevity of the CD / DVD by chewing and damage my 4 FS 2004 disc, and so I could not complete the installation.

  I was wondering if there was any way I could acquire a new 4 disk instead of having to pay to buy a completely new version of FS 2004. I'm a big fan of flight simulator and you have a lot of use out of it, I would really apprciative any help anyone could offer.

  Thanks again

• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 vs Windows 7 compatibility

  I installed MS Flight Simulator in Windows 7. The installation went well.
  And I could start MS Flight Simulator until the home page appeared.
  BUT: during the opening of "videoparts' (i.e. the statement at the beginning, the parts of MS FS with moving images) the program closed and a message says:
  "There was a problem. The program does much more. The program will be closed. »
  I tried to find out if something went wrong with the compatibility. But everyhting seems fine.
  I hope someone can help me with my favorite game show.

  All I can think now is to update your video drivers.

  If it still does not work, unfortunately it is something wrong with your computer because it says here that FS2004 is fully compatible with Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit):

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Flight%20Simulator%202004%3a%20A%20Century%20of%20Flight&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=0&pi=0&s=flight%20simulator%202004&os=32-bit

• After the upgrade to windows 7 Ultimate I downlosded Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and he lights up in low resolution and cannot be used. What can be done to corecct it?

  Cannot run fs9

  herbmah,
  If you still experience this issue, then you should try the following.

  Update your drivers for your video and audio.  Ensure that the manufacturer has Windows 7 drivers for your specific hardware.  You may also look for both motherboard chipset drivers.

  If you still have problems after updating all your drivers, then clean restart your PC and test.
