New computer problem please ?

Hi everybody.

I have decided to post this here because I think

it may get a better response.

Purchased a new Gaming Computer on 30th September 2020 but as yet I haven't had a lot of luck with it !!!

It's a PC Specialist TORNADO R5TX with an AMD RYZON 5 GTX 1660 Graphics Card.

Problem I am getting is Using the Activation Codes to run Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX? being told there already in use and only being allowed to run for 30 Minutes before being asked to Activate the game to Continue.

Using the FSX Forum I have been told to try this:-

Press Windows key + R to invoke the Run dialog.

In the Run dialog box, type services.msc and hit Enter to open Services.

In the Services window, scroll and locate the Windows Installer service.

Double-click on the entry to open its properties window.

In the properties window, on the General tab, click the dropdown on

Startup type and select Automatic.

Next, move to the Service status section.Click the Start button in order to enable the service.

To disable this specific service, click the Stop button.

Click Apply > OK to save changes.

However, When I get to the Startup type and select Automatic line, I cannot change it because It's set on Manual and greyed out so am unable to change It to Automatic.

Anymore help Please?

Thanks

Paul.

Really need some help with this please.

This is a new Gaming Computer and I'm trying to work out if I have a Warranty Issue?

many thanks

Paul.

Did you install this copy of fsx on your old pc also? If so you will have to properly uninstall it from that pc first.

Each copy of Fsx disk edition may only be installed and activated on one pc at a time.

( Or did you perhaps buy this copy of fsx online as second hand product? If so it seems like the seller made a copy of the disks for himself and also wrote down the activation code.)

Hi, and thanks for reply.

Gave old PC to Daughter but had removed all MS Flight Simulator & MS train Simulator Files.

Many thanks

Paul.
