I initially had the same problem and I also have Vista 64.

On the windows page, click on "show all platform" or something to that effect.

The second one listed says x64 instead of x86 --- download and run that hotfix.

i just installed the hotfix and it worked.. try it guys it works!

I am running window vista 64bit..... this didnt resolve the problem for me. it says One or more files were not unzipped.. error code 40.

I also tried Triebel Karl 1105294 solution it didnt work.

Can anyone help me?


edit: also my AV is system suite 9

I run Vista 32bit and it still doesnt work.

Had a similar problem when I first installed sim on Vista 32. Sorted it by creating exceptions
in my firewall (Windows firewall) and antivirus (Avast professional). Also don't forget to reboot
your PC immediately after you make these changes to your firewall/antivirus.
It's basically an OS security problem and not that of the pilot clent.

If you use FSInn these are the executables that could possibly be blocked.

FSFDTCP.exe
FSInnUI.exe
FSInnUIVVL.exe
FWINN.exe

Before you carry out the above, I would advise you to download and install Vista SP2.

You may find that after doing so this problem will be non-existent and in addition will almost certainly increase PC/OS
performance; how much will depend on your kit.

Best of luck and do tell us if you manage to overcome this problem.

Hi,
I tried downloading the hotfix but it wont download. They sent it to my e-mail account and I clicked the link but it shows that the page can't be displayed. I did this twice and got the same result. Can someone e-mail me the hotfix with that password thing?
Thnx

I did it and Worked great for me. Still having problems with AERO and FS2004 en windowed mode, but.. getting better.

Thanks a lot.

If somebody needs the fix, mail me and i´ll send it.

Disable desktop composition in from the compatibility tab of the fs9.exe properties.

There would equally be a problem with FSX, but FSX disables it automatically.

Downloading Vista SP2 did the trick for me. It solved my traffic issue as well as fixed some other minor bugs.

I never bothered checking before reading this thread but SP2 seems to solve the problems I was having with FSinn and Norton as well.

Hey guys,

Desperately need help here.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, not sure how many bit, how do I check? Seems like 32 bit.
I am using Squawkbox on FS9, and I can't seem to see any traffic at all even when they exist whenever I fly. Can anyone help?
I have Norton and I tried disabling it already.

YOOOOR IT WORKS!! THANKS YOUS

Is it possible to get this hotfix for Windows 7? I have problems with seeing other aircrafts. Today in LHR i only saw 2 out of 4.
