FSX Activation Please?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody.

 

What's the problem with FSX activation Please?

 

I Load the Two FSX CD's and when restarting, am asked to enter the Product Code which is ACCEPTED.

I then play FSX for about an Hour or so and then thanked for playing FSX and cut off.

 

Any help with this please?

 

Many thanks.

 

Paul.

Might need to perform the Windows registry adjustment to allow for registration. It involves changing one of the registry lines case from upper case to lower case.

Still looking for some help please?

Hi JSkorna, many thanks for your reply

Sadly, I know nothing about messing with Registry Files.

 

Thanks

Hi everybody, still going around in circles!!!

 

 

This is a Comparatively new Windows 10 Installation, never the less I seem to be having

a lot of unexplained Game Installations Issues that I have not encountered in the past.

 

 

As a new Windows 10 I am trying to reinstall some games from the previous Operating Systems that I had in the past i.e "Windows XP and Windows 7" (played on Windows 10 before.

 

 

The only game that I have got working OK so far is Microsoft Train Simulator.

 

 

Other games I am having Issues with Installing is Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS9) and

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, (obviously seperately, not in Windows at the same time) These Two seem to Install OK with there Desktop Icons but when clicking on their Icons (normal or as administrator) absolutely nothing Happens at all.

 

 

One more game Installed Is Silent Hunter wolves of the Pacific but when clicking on the Icon for this it says the Game is blocked.

 

 

Any help or suggestions please.

 

thanks

 

Paul.

There does not seem to be a way of editing the last post.

 

So please tell me what you make of this please?

 

 

C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe

 

 

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

 

 

Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

 

thanks.

Your Simconnect versions are all messed up. and because we don't know what was installed in the past or your Windows version history on this computer is is hard to say what to do next.

 

If it was me, I would back up any important data, reformat the hard drive and start from scratch.

Sounds like a screwed install to me??
