Here's the setup...I've got a folder called FS9 on my root directory C:/FS9....also located on C:/ is a folder called flight simulator files...which I thought would contain the saved flights plus UI and Previous. For some reason, vista 64 wants to save the flight at C:/users/administrator/documents/flight simulator files. Even if I delete the folder in users/admin/docs, it recreates the folder when I go into FS9 and attempt to save a new default flight (over the existing C172 at KSEA).I have a folder called flight simulator files in FS9 but it doesn't go there, the saved flight always goes to users/admin/documents/flight simulator--and consequently won't save a new default profile.When I attempt to save over using select flight, then make default, it ends the program (which is crash in vista language). I know there's got to be an easy fix but I can't figure it out.Frustrated!THanks for any help.R.M. Perry

Rich;Sounds like you haven't killed UAC, and Vista's virtualization is kicking in.I recommend setting up and using a user login other than the default "administrator" (but give it admin privileges), and never install programs to the Program Files folder, either.CheersBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

I'm trying to find where the setting is that is telling FS9 where to save, but nothing that I've seen in the registry (granted there might be more places that i'm unaware of), fs9.cfg, and in the files in the fs9 root directory. No luck so far.I'm running in Windows 7 64bit, which is about the same as vista 64bit, and I have not had the crashing problem. I have though defaulted to installing any x86 application into the C:/Program Files(x86) folder. I wonder if this has anything to do with the crashing...but definitely not in determining where to save your game.My only fix it to let FS9 save where it wants. :( I hope someone else have more ideas to where the parameter is for saving location.

Well, I figured out the first part...and it's a half-a%$ way around it... copy your desired saved flight (should be located in users/admin/documents/flight simulator files) to desktop and rename it FLTSIM...then copy paste it in your FS9/Flights/Others and restart FS9...you will have your desired saved flight...(make sure you backup original just in case).Bob...I'm dorking this wholesale and backing myself into a square corner...ok, so apparently the profile I've been using is default administrator which I happened to rename...I set up another user with admin rights, logged in, and I've got the vista new desktop settings (like it's brand new setup) with a few (not all) of the icons/shortcuts from the other user (me) with admin rights...there's FS9 icon so I click on it, and it's like starting the program from scratch (initial setup screen in huge resolution) but it's got the aircraft I've already loaded...so, basically this is confusing as all get out...I may s*&t can this whole setup and reload vista...seems every solution I work compounds others.I disabled UAC at the very beginning I guess on the default side...so still not sure why it's pointing saved flights to user/admin etc.ThanksRich
