bermershof Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Dear flightsimmers, I have 2 flightsims installed on my computer. FS2004 and FSX, both in the same D-directory. If I want to start FS2004, this flightsim will not start. The message appears: "Flightsim is already running" Is the installed FSX "the bad guy"? I like to keep both flightsims on my PC. Somebody gives me the sollution to us both flightsims? Deactivating FSX before starting FS2004 is no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douga66 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 A little more info would be helpful. Operating system? Are you trying to run both at the same time? Have you tried to look at the windows task manager after the error message? By deactivating do you mean uninstall? These would be helpful to anyone to begin to diagnose your problem.

Skywatcher12 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Sounds like you might be using Win 7? Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermershof Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 My operating system is Windows 10. I don't run FS9 and FSX at the same time.By deactivating I mean that I dont mean uninstall but not starting-up FSX. Where do I find the windows task manager?

tgibson_new Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Have you installed the no CD patch? Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If it says it's already running, is there another instance of FS9.EXE running in Task Manager? Cheers! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Windows Task Manager: Ctrl-Alt-Del together (Computers 101) (or Google How to find Windows Task Manager) Did you install FS2004 in C:\ & NOT it's default directory? Did you install the FS2004 9.1 update? Did you install the FS2004 NOCD patch? (Optional: did you try run in XP compatibility mode & as Administrator) If NO, to any of the above, FS2004 will not work!

durhambuilder Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 You can't run FSX and FS9 at the same time. You can run them both on the same computer, and on the same drive but not at the same time. They are both known to the operating system as Microsoft Flight Simulator and only one instance at a time is possible. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywatcher12 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If it says it's already running, is there another instance of FS9.EXE running in Task Manager? Cheers! Luke If it is there, reboot your machine and check again. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
