Hi all,Having been a longtime user of ActiveSky 4.5, I decided this evening to purchase, download and install ASv6. However, after installation, the ActiveSky Graphics will not load...either from the icon within the ActiveSky program itself, nor from the desktop (the ASv6 program appears to be functioning OK). When I attempt to load from the desktop I get the following message: "The application failed to initialize properly....".I have uninstalled AS 4.5 and also uninstalled/reinstalled ASv6, but it hasn't made any difference. I'm running the latest registered version of FSUIPC.Any help will be appreciated.Regards,ScottKJMS (or thereabouts)

I think that if you have downloaded and installed the official release SU3 its normal, try to load more time ASG (sometimes after 2 time is loading) this has been solved in the latest beta, but I waiting the final SU4 that should be available I think really soon, right Jim?Andy

Hi Scott,Thanks for the purchase!Do you have .NET 1.1 or higher installed from Microsoft? I would suggest that is it. Please let us know!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter

Hi Andy and Jim,I've tried at least a half a dozen times to get the Weather Graphics to load - no joy.I'm assuming I have the Microsoft Net thing. Before I downloaded ASv6 I went to the Microsoft site (via the instructions on the HiFiSim home page) and updated my computer. The updates (there were two) that it said my computer needed were downloaded and installed. It didn't say specifically that it was installing the .Net 1.1, but if my machine needed it, wouldn't it have installed? I'm running WinXP Home with SP2.[Just to let you know, a few minutes after I posted this, I went back to the Microsoft site and did a search for .net 1.1. I followed the link to install it - which is the windows update link. It checked my computer and said I didn't need any updates/downloads.]Regards,ScottKJMS(or thereabouts)

Andy,You mentioned the "official SU3 release" in your reply. Is that the version I downloaded from the HiFi page? Are there updates somewhere that I'm missing?Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi, You need to download .Net 1.1 or higher, ASG won't works without it, SP2 don't came with .NetThanksChris Willishttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg

Ok, can you provide a direct link to it? When I go to the Microsoft site, do a search for .net 1.1, click on a download link, I get taken every time to a windows update page, and that page tells me I don't need any updates.Regards,ScottKJMS

Success!!!!Thanks for all the help, Andy, Jim & Chris! I do have the weather graphics up and running now. I managed to find .net 1.1 via a google search that took me to the proper place on the Microsoft site. I downloaded and installed the app, and all is working now.Once again, thanks for the wonderful support...which I see is still at the same level of excellence as it was when I was running ActiveSky 4.5 and had questions.Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi Scott,Boy you are in for a treat going from AS2004.5 to ASv6!We are glad you are up and running!!If you have other questions, feel free to ask!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
