Hi everyone,I am new to the PMDG client base and have just purchased the 737TNG - sounds great, but I can't get it started. I have downloaded all 4 required downloads and followed the installation process. I also downloaded the Lauda and Scandinavian liveries just to "have". Once I ran FS2002 (on windows2000 pro) and tried to select my new aircraft I kept on receiving the following error message, which I cannot get out of (hence I have to forcebly shut down FS). Also no liveries appear, just a silver aircraft, as well as only the Lauda Air option shows, not the Scandinavian... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21229.jpgPlease help,anyone as I have been using DF737 and I really want to move up in the world..Thanks in advance.Travis Waycotthttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/21236.txt

Travis-did you read the "IMPORTANT NOTE" in the documentation that popped up, advising you to install the GDI+ redistributable if you're running on a non-WinXP system?Do that, and let us know.

Just woundering what GDI+ is? I do have a XP PRO system but cursious to what it is.Cheers,Ryan

An MS-Windows graphics software layer / API we are using for our gauges.It's part of XP standard, but has to be installed on earlier versions of Windows.anthonyAnthony MertonPrecision Manuals Developmenthttp://www.precisionmanuals.com

Lefteris,yes, did that as well. I must admit though, I did do the first installation prior to reading that bit. Then downloaded the GDI+ then tried to reinstall. Which all seemed okay - but with the same problem once FS was started.PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE help.thanks,Travis.

Ahh I get it now. Cheers,Ryan

DITTO!!I'm having the same issue as you!Windows 2000 Pro as well.:(

Travis, download the GDI stuff and place the files in a folder you have (any folder).After you download and place the files in the folder (of your choosing) copy and paste them in the Root FS2002 directory.I did this and all my issues were solved!Hope this helps you out!!:)
