theyorks Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I would not expect any 15 year old program to run on anything these days. Wait for an FSX-SE sale on Steam and update for 5 bucks. Sent from my tablet thingy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longbreak754 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Have you tried running the program in compatibility mode and as an administrator. Locate the FS2000.exe file, right click on it and select properties from the menu list. On the properties window click on the Compatibility tab. In the Compatibility mode section place a tick in the box next to the Run this program in compatibility mode for statement and then use the drop down menu below it to select a different windows version - I suggest trying Win XP (SP3) mode first, if that resolves the issue great, if not try one of the others. Under the Settings section place a tick in the box next to the Run this program as an administrator statement. Click on the Apply button to accept the changes and then test. It should also be possible to make these changes via the FS2000 desktop shortcut if present. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarhead1971 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The only way it MIGHT run is to reinstall it in the root directory through custom install, i.e. C:\FS2000, then run it as longbreak754 suggested. I had to install FS2004 in that manner to get it to run under Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I was trying to get FS2000 Pro Edition to run in Windows 7. I installed on my D:\ drive. I tried everything I could think of including the compatibility settings you guys suggested. NOTHING worked so I just uninstalled it. Anybody got it working on Win 7 I'd like to know how.

eddywinch82 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi there, I had the same problem trying to run Flight Sim 98 properly, in Windows 7 64 bit it wouldn't. So what i had to do in the end, is use either Windows Virtual PC, or VMware Workstation and run an older Version of Windows in my case Windows 98, through VMware Workstation, and install Flight Sim 98 on it, Now I can play FS98 properly perhaps you could try my method, with FS2000. Here are some links you guys may find helpful, please let me know if you need further help :- https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-nt-2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Workstation http://www.vmware.com/uk/products/workstation.html http://www.vmware.com/products/player/playerpro-evaluation.html Best Regards Eddie Winch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TisTori Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 How did you install the Flight Sim onto VMware? I downloaded it and I'm extremely confused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddywinch82 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi TisTori, Can I message you in the next few days ? I am busy at the moment. And also I need to, go back over how I did it. What your refering to. As I havn't used the VMware program since before Christmas. And can't remember exactly how I did it.

eddywinch82 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 But in the basic sense. I think I had to install Windows 98, onto the VMware Program. And then Flight Sim 98 onto that, and run it in Windows 98. So you will have to do the same, with Windows 2000 and Flight Sim 2000. I will message you in the next few days about this. When I have gone over exactly how I did it. Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have gone over exactly how I did it. Eddie I used the following steps to get FS2000 installed and running on Windows 10 without requiring a VM. 1. Ran the FS2000 setup program as administrator in compatability mode for Windows 98 2. During install ran custom install to disk root directory - i.e. C:\FS2000 3. Installed complete (including all of scenery cd disk 2). 4. Copied into c:\FS2000 the no-cd version of FS2000.exe 5. Right clicked c:\FS2000\FS2000.exe and set to run as administrator in compatability for Windows 98. Running beautifully from desktop shortcut together with added-in aircraft.
