Problem registering FSX on Windows 10

I had this problem before and fixed it, but I bought a new computer and it is back again. I own my own copy of FSX Gold Edition and I am running it on Windows 10. The problem is Microsoft will now accept my Product Keys when I install FSX. I have been told they no longer support FSX, but someone told me there is a way around so you can activate FSX on Windows 10. All I remember is it something to due with my computer's Registry. Does anyone how to fix this,:confused as I am tired of only being able to use FSX for half an hour at a time. Thanks for your help, uplands

Give this a try and see if it helps.

 

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.

Right click on the FSX desktop icon, go to properties..on properties click on "compatibility". clear check in box that's labeled "Check compatibility"...this worked for me
