KCD Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Does anyone know if FSCaptain 1.07.01 will run on a XP machine? I had an older version of the demo and it ran fine a few years ago, but I stopped using it. I downloaded the current version (01.07.01) Saturday, removed the older version from my machine and started over. One of the initial steps is to run a program called "FSCaptain Admin". When I attempt to do that, I am advised that "...Admin.exe is not a valid Win32 Application". There are two download versions for v1.07.01, one for FSX and another for FS9. I have properly downloaded the FS9 version. I can find no support option on the FSCaptain web site, and I find it odd that a program like this would be produced to the exclusion of the XP operating system. The only reference I can find is as follows from the FSC web site... "Question 1.2: Will FSCaptain run under Windows XP? Answer: The FSCaptain Administrator EXE will not run under Windows XP. The Administrator and the FCOM/FCDU gauges will run inside the simulator. " It would appear to me that they are saying that while the Admin program will not run as a stand-alone under XP, it can be run from inside FS9. But when I try to do that, I get a black screen and FS9 crashes to the desktop within a minute. I remember enjoying this program and would like to find a way to re-explore it, can anyone offer any assistance, Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av8tor98 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Klee, have you been to the FS Captain forums? I have FS Captain for P3D but never had it for FS9. I did see some discussions in the forum related to your specific issue with XP. I hope this link works. It will take you directly to the thread: http://fscaptain.proboards.com/search/results?captcha_id=captcha_search&display_as=0&page=2&search=Search&what_at_least_one=FS9&who_only_made_by=0 JOE- Asus P8Z68- V Pro; CPU: Intel i7-2600K 3.4ghz OC'd 4.6Ghz, 8G Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR3-1600, EVGA 1080Ti 11G ACX Cooler Samsung 500G OS drive, 3 WD 1T Raptor HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
