• Microsoft Flight Simulator: Gold Edition Windows 8 compatibility

  I recently bought a new desktop PC Windows 8. Before buying this, I called the Microsoft customer service (which was a horrible experience overall) and they confirmed that my version of FSX IS compatible. Then, I bought the PC and loaded the game on my computer. The game was running, so I decided to change the air traffic at high. Within 2 seconds, the game crashed. That is to say the frequency of horrific images on FSX for Windows 8. I then tried to open the game and this note came: error ID = 25null Just to indicate, the 2nd time I bought FSX; the first copy I bought for my old computer on Windows Vista. The memory card and the graphics have been destroyed because of the game. (I do not understand how it is possible to make it work on Windows XP.) The 2nd for my new computer Windows 8. Then, once more I am my way through to the right person customer support, and he said that my version of FSX is not compatible with Windows 8. Then... I really need a clear answer... Thank you!

  Evan,

  Go to C:\Program files\Microsoft Games, flight Simulator X, find the FSX file. EXE and right click on it. And select send to - desktop (create shortcut).

  Try to open the file. If it fails with the same error, then right-click on it and click Properties.

  Place a check on "run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 7 or earlier versions.

  Let us know the results.

• 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.

• 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.

  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

• 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.

• Flight Simulator 2004 install not on Windows XP

  I can't install Flight simulator 2004 on Windows XP. The drive I have is not recognized by the computer.

  The disc scratched or damaged? In addition, other drives do not work as expected?

  If you can see the disc when it appears in my computer, but the problem is when installing, I would suggest the click with the right button on the drive, click Explore, and the tree of files should open all files on this disk. Drag them to a folder on the desktop and run the installer from there.
