FSX 'Acceleration disk' problem

Sorry if this has been covered before but I am at my wits end.

On running FSX I was having the Error code 1-80004005 and understand this is lack of activation, as it cut out after 30 minutes flying and asked me to activate.

Using some other web responses I did a completely clean removal and reinstalled FSX from my genuine 'Gold edition' and then got to the activation screen and entered the correct codes. The program then ran perfectly ok - no Error Code.

I then ran the 'Acceleration' disk and it went smoothly to the end, not asking for any activation codes.

Then running FSX it is coming up with the same Error Code. Obviously the 'Acceleration' disk has done something...:confused:

Any help would be greatly received.

1. run regedit (Windowskey +R)

2. Expand the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTRO L\CLASS\{4D36E967-

E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.

4. Change the value from 0 to PartMgr and/or remove any other settings and then click OK.

5. Close Registry Editor

6. Start FSX/Accel and you should get the registration wizard.

First Class advice Mr Zippy..

It worked and I am a happy pilot ;)

Just FYI.

The GUID is related to hard drives. https://www.lifewire.com/device-class-guids-for-most-common-types-of-hardware-2619208

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

For my version of Windows 10, I see that specific GUID of:

4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318

is related to Veracrypt. A free and open source disk encryption software I use.

This thread brought me here...

I spent a LOT of time and struggle reinstalling FSX Gold. Wrote a sticky now in the "sticky" section of this FSX forum. For future reference.
