Loki, You have FS9 installed but won't launch? Can you go into your scenery folder and rename all your pay ware folders UK.bak ts

Do you have any freeware on there? All my planes/scenery since XP 2002-2003 I pieced together 1000's of hours, I've been using MSFT FS since DOS 2.0 -through Win 10, all my moves from XP to 7 to 10 were pretty much swoobbie's way... Can you delete your UK folders? I know they're in the registry and that's a bugger! I hate registry cleaners etc. I figure most all repairs can be done with a good backup/restore Acronis, and DOS, Regedit etc... To make a long story longer I keep all my planes(I only fly The biggest Planes Boeing, Airbus, Antonovs etc.)/ scenery zips in a folder, the best and hardest 2 were the worx and 9dragons, well worth it IMO https://www.youtube.com/user/sneauxwolf/videos TS AKA Sneauxwolf K-Board flyer

Sorry, I thought you were talking to elcajonblvd, I think you'll find the solution on this thread, if you can copy/cut/paste ;-'

looks like it's on c:\ now you need to replace the fs9 file with the 1 you d/l e d(9.1 patch), then, change the properties to xp2 or 3, save, then rt., click it and create shortcut etc. TS

Yes the new (fs9 no exe) patch file should have replaced the original in C:\Flight Simulator 9... Then you right click it, properties/ details, it should be version 9.1.0 (4????)0 then you can right click it, Compatibility, pull down menu click XP service pack 2 or 3/ save! Then Rt click it again, create shortcut, cut the shortcut, paste b to desktop!. All of your Main fs9 folder MUST be in C:\Flight Simulator 9, Not C:\MSFT Games \Flight Simulator 9 Otherwise we're just beating a dead horse AGAIN! TS

Ty, nah he has no addons he's just trying to install swoobbies way... TS

YW, Copy and pasting is the most basic thing you can do on a computer! however: I"M GOING TO YELL! So You understand! WHEN IN FILE EXPLORER, COPYING/CUTTING, OR PASTING IT'S EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY DRAG AN IMPORTANT FOLDER INTO ANOTHER(Especially with mouse pad laptop as opposed to a real mouse) If you don't know how to right click/ undo, you're computer can be royally screwed! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 3rd Party BACKUP/ RESTORE PROGRAM ON YOUR COMPUTER, OH WELL!!! Some just depend on the cloud to auto save pics, downloads etc., basic stuff... OK, Since your Win 11 computer is New, Correct? Did it come from a reputable dealer with extra software etc? Regardless it's easy enough to set it back to factory if effed up! My fathers computer Win 11 for example is just used for browsing, I keep his files that change on a thumb drive so I'm not worried about lost data, or backing it up, I can factory reset it, re-copy files/folders back to it. That's all... TS

I think you're missing the "Forest For The Trees" Swobbie's 1st post is your answer and or Mine!!! Namely the updates put in the right place, fs9 folder, and creating the shortcut/ compatibility modes Short answer is yes since you don't have any addons, as long as you're version is not a counterfeit, yes It happens, I bought my Win 7 pro Genuine C D from eBay, only to get a popup later from MSFT telling me it was stolen. I called them, showed them all my receipts and they updated me anyway! Many used the same procedure going from Xp to 7 to 10 to 11 I had no problem fresh install to Win 7, but since I had SO many years of addon scenery and planes in XP, I used the same procedure going from Xp to 7 to 10. In other words I cut my Main folder from old XP from C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9 And pasted it over my win 7 installation. Going to Win 10 I had to use same procedure and cut C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9, and pasted it to C:\ TS

The FS9 file in folder

!7 years of computer experience? My first 17 years I "WE" learned by reading, crashing computers, reading how to fix em, you should be a 5-6... I have to go go awhile, re-read start with my first reply to you... Sincerely, ts

Don't say Geek Squad again please. Patches are here, and probably in download folder. Ty, TS

He who, .put what?

Finish installing, apply patches

I said, " apply all the patches, in C:\ MSFT Games Then copy and paste (Flight simulator 9) to C:\ redo shortcuts! U were almost there then uninstalled it!!! TS

Did you create a Restore point FIRST like suggested you could Undo whatever they, you me did. and start over... You still may have 1 from b4 all this, type in system restore, look for a point prior to all this, hi lite it, click check effected programs. TS TS

Are you using a paid for copy of fS9 with the 15 alpha numeric code you have to enter from The yellow sticker when installing ?

run Or Possibly apply all the patches, in C:\ MSFT Games Then cut and paste it all to C:\, redo shortcuts etc... Rather than cut, copy all your Flightsim from C:\Microsoft games, and paste it to C:\ good tech support it would be appreciated. You're getting it! here! Did you think Best buy had a clue about FS9?

Comprendo, (No I don't speak Spanish) I think it's all in szwoobbie's, The 1st post, Hmmm,, Ok uhhh... $200 Best Buy UGH! Did you install the FS9 9.1 update in main FS9 folder? Also the FS9 no CD crack After Fs9 update to main FS9 folder, find the "NEW" fs9.exe in MSFT FS9 Main folder, right click/ compatibility/ pull down menu, click XP service pack 2 or 3, Try run as Administrator save. Then Right click it and create shortcut, cut it, paste to desktop. TS Aka Sneauxwolf @ Youtube
