New computer and Windows 10

[michaeljulian]

having taken a year to get my old computer to run FSw
2004 with Windows 10 but an appalling frame rate I have now installed FS2004 onto my new computer as C:/ Flight Simulator 9. However, although I have checked to see that the no-cd and noCD9.1 updates are there nothing starts from the icon ( i have removed the old FS9.exe file) - either as administrator or not. Any ideas I could follow?

I'm not sure how you could have both no cd files since they are the same file? Try downloading that again and re-installing it.

I may have been careless in my wording. I have the 9.1 update and the no-cd9.1 both installed. I have deleted each in turn but to no effect

Have you tried launching directly from the FS9.exe in the main folder?

You do not delete the exe files. You simply replace them by drag and drop.

Finally cracked. I found that I had installed the complete folder instead of extracting the no-cd file alone
