Fsx startup please?

Hi everybody

 

Have decided to Run FSX again as it is still my Favourite Flight sim. Not getting along with the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

 

However, It only Runs for about Half an Hour, then, thanks me for playing and then asks me to Re Register to continue playing?

 

I actually own 2 X FSX Simulator Gold Editions and it is doing the Same on with BOTH!!! Says both have expired.

 

Does this mean I have to Purchase yet another FSX or is there a way around this Please.

 

I have Recently purchased a New gaming Computer and wonder if this is the reason for the problem?

 

Any help or advice please (asap if possible please) would be extremely appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Regards

 

Paul.

Yes, you need to register your `new` sim just like you had to before.

Your new gaming computer presumably has different componinets?

Your FSX Gold (Acceleration) needs to be re-validated. You are in DEMO mode.

 

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.

Hi Mr Zippy, long time no hear, many thanks for reply.

 

BUT!

 

How do I get around this One: Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration requires the English version of flight Simulator X.

 

Have played this more times than I can remember and has never been a Problem before, but now the Acceleration Disk will not load?

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

Paul,

 

One way around this would be to get the Steam Edition of FSX, then all the problems with installation of Acceleration and registration are gone.

Hi Jorgen, thanks for reply.

 

I actually have Three lots of Flight Simulator X, 2 Deluxe Editions and 1 Deluxe Edition with the Acceleration Pack Disk. so do not want to purchase anything else unless I have to.

 

Am thinking of Installing One of the other FSX's and see if the Acceleration Pack will work with it.

 

Many thanks

P.S, Problem at the moment is Computer is not accepting any of the Three Activation Codes that I have.

Hi everybody, sorry to be a nuisance.

 

Really, Really need some help or assistance with this Please or else I'm going nowhere. Really stuck?

 

Any help Please?

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

The Acceleration disk should at least work with the DeLuxe Edition it came with (remember, it needs an English-language DeLuxe version so it can install, and since it apparently came in a set the whole set should be English-language), if it does not then I am afraid someone pulled a fast one on you and sold you something he shouldn't have.

 

But, that Acceleration disk should (again that word!) be able to work on any standard or DeLuxe FSX disk set, as long as they are English-language....

 

Jorgen

Hi Jorgen, thanks for reply.

 

Problem at the moment is Computer is not accepting any of the Three Activation Codes that I have so the Acceleration disk is no good at the moment because it cannot be used until FSX Is Activated?

 

Really stuck now and don't know what to do next.

 

many thanks

Delete the Registry emtry for FSX, then re-install.

You have all the info you need for this...

Hi Jorgen, thanks again for reply.

 

Not very good with Computers, where do I find this Please?

 

Many thanks

OK, so at the moment, if you uninstall Acceleration, the 2 disc FSX is still in the 30 minute demo mode?

Hi Mr Zippy, thanks for reply.

 

At the moment FSX and Acceleration are Installed but will only run for about 30 Minutes before asking me to Activate FSX,

 

As said previously, I have 2 FSX's and one FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Disk but doesn't

accept any of the Product Activation codes?

 

Any more help please. beginning to think I should have kept my Packard Bell Computer. Alas. already given to my Daughter.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

You will need to UNINSTALL Acceleration to test if FSX Deluxe needs to be registered. That's what the link I provided will do. Once that's good, then reinstall Accel. to see what happens. if that won't let you register it, then my first post comes into play!

Hi Mr Zippy, thanks again for reply.

 

Have unistalled Activation but cannot seem to get any further, FSX will still not run. Have checked compatibility mode but doesn't have the box checked.

 

Am going to uninstall FSX and start again with a fresh install and see what happens.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

Hello again.

 

FSX now running without Acceleration. Will see how long it runs before reinstalling Acceleration.

 

Thanks

 

Paul.

Hi everybody, latest position with FSX.

 

This has been running for well over an Hour now but without the Acceleration Disk installed.

 

However, there seems to be a new problem, the Hide Menu Bar is ticked and will not untick to display the menu bar along the top of the screen?

 

Somebody did mention earlier removing FSX from the Registery but I don't know how to do this.

 

Any further help or assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

Can you bring up the menu bar by pressing and holding down the ALT key for a second or so?

Hello again Mr Zippy.

 

for whatever reason when I reported the Menu Bar problem I had a Black mouse Cursor which is normally White.

 

But I have now Installed the Acceleration Disk and everything now seems to be working fine, however am still getting the failed to Activate Message although the programme still seems to Run.

 

No explanation for this, but guess I'll have to put up with it for time being. calling it a night now as I have been on the computer now since early AM.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul

Guess what? Not working again. Saved last night, but when loaded this Morning only lasted 30 minutes before asking for Activation to continue.

 

Not sure what to do next.

 

Many thanks

 

Paul.

Many thanks
