• 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):

• 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?

• 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
  4 GB of Ram
  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

• 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.

• 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

  Giles

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
