FS9 will not load

Recommended Posts

Does your CD drive "see" any other disk or play music disks or otherwise perform as it should?If not, you certainly would seem to have a hardware problem.

Hi again David,Tried FS9 after playing a CD-- no go. Got the old MS 'program not responding,send error report" pop-up.. then the drive was 'clicking' a bit, green light flashing and will not eject....ooppss--it just ejected.

Well, Finished dinner and sat down for a little flying and--lo and behold...FS9 would/will not load. No problem last night. The little 'egg-timer' appears for a few seconds, then poof! It's gone. This happened once before and I just re-booted and everything was fine. BUT--- Tried to eject the #4 disc and at first it would not eject.- Then I got it to eject, put it in again. No luck. - Took it out, rebooted, put it in..nope.- Put it in an other drive,,,,nope..The ONLY thing different from last night was I installed "Beechcraft Twin Bonanza "Prop_V2" by Chris Tuinstra" from AVSIM tonight in one paint of the aircraft.. So I took it out.-still no luck.Any ideas floating around as to how I might get off the ground? :>)

I sure would try a careful cleaning of the disk and see if that "cures" the problem.If not, I would also do a complete virus scan just to be sure a little gremlin has not crept in and is playing games with your system.If noe of the above helps, drop me an e-mail (click on my name) and we can discuss other options.

I'm pretty sure the disc is clean. But I will make sure and also run a virus scan Friday when I get home.And Dave, thanks for the offer to discuss if this does not work.

I must say that your 'system specs' are by far the most impressive I've ever seen on this site. What a superb collection!

Hi Gavin, I rather enjoy the specs that many folks post. sort of like. 'mine is bigger than yours.' So since mine ISN'T bigger than most, those are what I can brag about.I had an old BMW 250 single for many years, one of those you sometimes see in the WWII movies, but gave it to a friend who has a great collection of classic bikes.In fact, most of the time I don't even know what those system specs even mean. :D

Much better than mine, "82" KZ750 and "82" YZ250. I guess though that you could say mine are vintage. Still fun to ride though. :D
