Problems in Flight Simulator 98

I have Flight Simulator 98 that I have loaded on my new Dell computer with vista. My logitech joystick will not work with her, it this year but will not do anything else. How to operate? It worked fine with my old computer which had xp on it. It is said that it is enabled but does not work.

Hey,.

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

In addition to the thought of Kevin J Baird, I would suggest the following steps:

·         It seems that the driver for the gamepad is not updated for windows Vista.

·         Joystick works fine on other games in Windows Vista?

Step 1:

1 go to the link below to fix your computer game controller.

2 here is a link to solve problems of game controller:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/831361

Step 2:

Try to install the game on Windows XP compatibility mode and check if it works.

Steps to install games in Windows XP compatibility mode:

1. open the installation source.

2 right-click on the installation and configuration icon, and then click Properties.

3. click on the compatibility mode.

4. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP.

5. click on apply and OK.

6. try to reinstall the game and check.

See the link below which talks about the issue, you encounter:

http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistagaming/thread/fe074447-116D-4b51-8d90-3a24c7ed5154

Step 3:

1. you can also check if the game is compatible with Windows Vista.

2 here is a link to the Vista Compatibility Center:

I hope that the information above helps you.

  • flight simulator 2004 brake problem

    I posted a brake problem, indicating that the brakes have remained on after several recovery re-installation of Flight Simulator 2004 but I still have the problem even after installation of Flight Simulator X or facility the earlier 2002. I have tried everything I can think so in the game, but without success. I thought it might be a problem in the registry. I went into regedit and impossible to locate any file associated with Flight Simulator. I don't know where else to look at. I suspect that there may be some files on the system that keeps loading after each installation, but I don't know what it would be. It takes so long to install the game every time I pretty much gave up. Help!

    Hi DavidLaing,

    Method 1

    I suggest that you create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279783

    If the problem does not persist in the new user account and the old account is damaged and needs replaced.

    How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151

    Method 2

    If the problem persists in the new user account and then try s different keyboard or input device.

    Method 3

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  • Flight Simulator 2004 noise problem

    Hello... I had some problems with his troublesome on my FS2004...
    First some back-story:
    I had some problems with my system and had to reinstall windows and my file system on my partition where I had Flight Sim seems to be damaged and cannot do anything with these files... not even remove them (although I can copy and install the files on it without problem). It's just the files that were on this partition before you reinstall windows. But right now, I don't want to format this partition as there could be some files on what I would miss to reinstall. I reinstalled the Flight Simulator on another partition on another driver and began to resettle some of my files (do not copy d, but ones I still have the installers).
    OK, here's the real problem... I went to the test one of my plane and noticed that the coil in place is not smooth and continuous when the sound of the engine is higher... it sounds pretty lag despite everything (graphic) being very smooth and without other sound problems. It looks like jump notes. I also checked that the throttle, which increases smooth as well, it's just the noise that seems to ignore the notes (such as 1... 4... 8... (15) I tried all sorts of stuff... reinstalled flight sim several times... installed the latest version of directx... installed the latest sound driver... dxdiag does record all errors.
    In addition, I have not had this problem before with FS2004 and did not change anything on my hardware. I don't even know where to look. I can't imagine it being a hardware problem... Even I don't think it's a driver problem. Is there some kind of configuration than that damn hidden? I'm about to be quite frustrated .
    Does anyone have any ideas or experiences regarding this problem?

    Intel Core 2 Duo (2 x 1.87 GHz)
    Built-in High Definition Sound
    Win XP Pro SP3

    I guess the rest is pretty irrelevant... and as I said already Flight Simulator works perfectly on the same system and I have not changed any hardware since then... The driver seems to be as well... its working pretty flawless for everything (music, videos, etc...). It's just that its engine spool-up/down interrupted, which is very annoying.

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the problem

    Original title: games

Windows is looking for a solution to the problem"and he have me to close the program. (I have Windows 7)

  • Huge problem with Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold Edition

    Hello

    I just tried installed FSX on my computer running Windows 7, and everything looks great except for one thing. Most of the aircraft when displayed in flight, when you travel in reality or in cut scenes are completely'm. Which means that there is no wings, the fuselage is glued on the front of the plane face down in the ground, or the wheels are attached to the top of the aircraft. So pretty, it is a metal band which is glued together.
    After reading many forums I might have SP 1 SP 2 could help my problem, but apparently the Acceleration package includes those so I installed this one rather than service packs. After installing it fixed my problem, the planes look perfect now. However, several other issue was raised. First of all, the multiplayer option in the menu disappeared, so I can't play multiplayer (least of my worries for the moment). In addition, I can play 30 minutes! No matter if I do the Missions or free flight, I can play 30 minutes or a message appears saying that I need to enable to play longer. What I did for FSX, but the acceleration pack never asked me for an activation key. Also when FSX starts a message pop up to say that it was a mistake to activation, blah blah.
    I want you to know that I got two keys with the game: Flight Sim X Pro and Flight Simulator X XP. Is there a difference? I used one.
    I also tried some method to remedy such as inserting the CD and repair, uninstall and reinstall and download a crack provided to someone else in another forum.
    As well, though I'm stuck. I can play 30 minutes or play with my pasted body in by propeller and my tires glued to my glass roof/ceiling.
    Help, please! Thank you.
