Kenneth Haught Posted February 23, 2009 at 10:40 AM Posted February 23, 2009 at 10:40 AM Did you install the service packs before you ran it. I believe that they have to be installed before it will run on a Vista machine, although I may be wrong. You can find the service packs (both 1 and 2) at http://www.fsinsider.com/downloads/Pages/default.aspx Anchorage Deputy Air Traffic Manager VATSIM Senior Supervisor (Team 1) Have a question or concern?

Larry James 901346 Posted February 23, 2009 at 11:54 AM Posted February 23, 2009 at 11:54 AM Did you install any addons? Any pilot client or any thing other than just Flight Simulator and the patches suggested above? -- L. James -- L. D.
