  When you try to start Flight Simulator 2004, I get a warning 'Sign in as administrator required'. It never happened to me before, and I can't launch the Simulator. I tried to create a different user account has administrator rights, and then reinstalling the Simulator in this account. It did not work. I don't know how to remove the windows updates and I can't return to my windows to a previous state. Flight Simulator start in "Safe Mode" is no help either. Can anyone give me any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

• Flight Simulator 2004 Joystick

  My Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas joystick worked perfectly on FS2004 installed on my laptop.  Suddenly, no reason apparent FS2004 no longer recognizes the joystick.  The same FS2004 is installed on my PC and the same joystick works OK.  I did controls are: USB - two OK ports.  Uninstalled then reinstalled FS2004 - same problem, perform a restore of the system in September - the same problem.  FS2004 runs OK via the keyboard, he simply refuses to recognize the joystick.  Anyone have any ideas?

• 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.

• Restarting Flight Simulator 2004 also freezes

  Recently, I noticed that I would use different aircraft to fly, and after completing the checklist, etc., etc. the screen would freeze. Also while flying for several hours (more than 4 hours) is scheduled to restart. Do you have any suggestions? I recently downloaded the 9.1 in the Flight Simulator 2004 update.

  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"

• MSFT Flight Simulator 2004

  I want to run Flight Simulator 2004 on my laptop. The game requires Windows XP and has relatively modest processor, storage and video requirements by today's standards, so I guess that my laptop is up to the task. I have a 64 bit Lenovo X140e (may 2013 or 2014 model with certainly enough computing power and storage to run FS 2004). He currently runs Windows 10.

  My plan is to partition my hard drive to install Windows XP or Windows 7 to launch FS 2004 on that partition, with 10 windows on the other partition my new programs running.  My questions:

  Stupid project? If so, why, and is there a better way to accomplish what I'm doing?

  A post previous re: FS 2004 has indicated that it is necessary to determine if my FS 32-bit version or a 64-bit. How do I know if my version of FS is 32-bit or 64-bit? It does not say on the package or inserts, and since I can't get the game to run, I paint a white.  FS2004 made even in a 64-bit version?

  I'd be better to just buy an old computer with Windows XP or Win 7? (I heard that Windows 7 can run Windows XP games). Thank you

  There is a problem (at least) two with your plan.

  You will find it difficult to get a legitimate copy of Windows XP or Windows 7.

  Even if you find or you already have a retail copy of one, it seems that Lenovo offers not all drivers for Windows XP.  It seems that there are Windows 7 drivers: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-X-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-X140e?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Support:Drivers % 20and % 20Software | drivers % 20and % 20Software & beta = false

  If I were you, I would buy a used computer with Windows XP installed.  Just make sure you get one with a decent video card and enough RAM.  I suspect XP used computers that you will find many companies that had no interest in capacity chart game

  If you manage to find a copy of Windows 7 Professional, or buy a computer with Windows 7 Pro already installed (probably about the same price), you can download the Microsoft XP Mode (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8002) and install FS 2004 in the virtual machine.  There is, however, no guarantee that XP Mode works for FS.  Microsoft offers XP Mode for businesses that want to upgrade to Windows 7, but still had management software requires XP.  A decent graphics card was not a problem, and the virtual graphics card in XP Mode is a map of "S3 Trio 32/64" SVGA: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/833144
