I've installed ASA and registered it. ASA starts normally and I select FS9 as the flight sim to look for. After ASA loads and is ready, I press the button to start FS, but nothing happens. I get a momentary window which disappears immediately leaving nothing in the tray. If I start FS9 manually, ASA doesn't find FS9. Changing my location in FS9 to KISP but ASA is still locked to KSEA. I have FSUIPC 3.90 in the modules folder. The odd thing is if I start ASA in FSX mode and hit the start FS button, it finds FSX with no problem (I have both FSX and FS9 on my computer. I'm at a loss as to why ASA cannot find FS9 even though I have the correct version of FSUIPC installed. I'd appreciate any ideas. BTW, running VISTA Home. Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,I have answered your e-mails about this with some questions of my own.Thanks,

Hi JimUnfortunately, I didn't get any e-mails.Mike

Hi,OK, thanks. Is FSUIPC registered or unregistered?For ASA not being able to start FS04, your windows registry might not be correct. For this you can run a utility from here:http://www.flight1software.com/files/FS_Registry_Repair.exeThanks,

Hi JimSorry to be a pain butI use an unregistered version of FSUIPC. I just ran the registry repair utility you sent and still no happiness. Oh well, ASA works for FSX so this won't be a total loss.Mike

Hi,No, we need to get to the bottom of this for you. Try right clicking on the ASA icon and Run........As Administrator.Thanks,

Already tried that. But I just tried it again and no luck. When I click on "START FS" I get a small window that starts to appear and quickly disappears with nothing left in the tray. This is even when I run as administrator. BTW, yes, FS9 is in the directory that FS9 defaults it to. Hmmmm, puzzling.

Hi,But if you run FS from it's own icon, it starts up OK?Thanks,

Hi JimSorry for the delay. I was at the US Open today. Yes, if I start FS9 from its own icon, it runs OK both in windowed mode and in full screen. I have an nVidea GeForce 8800 GT with current drivers 185.85. Also I have a Dell XPS730 with a Core 2 Extreme X9650 at 3.67 gH, 4 gig ram. In other words, plenty of computer to run all this. Out of curiosity, where is the utility that ASA uses to look for FS9. I'm thinking that it might be looking somewhere else than where FS9 is. Perhaps, the location can be edited???Mike

Hi Mike,If I'm not mistaken ASA looks to the Windows Registry for the FS location. That is one reason that in a networked configuration that option is grayed out, because we can't read it.That is why I asked you to run that Flight1 utility. Did/Do you have multiple installs of FS04 on this machine?Thanks,

Hi JimI ran the Flight 1 utility a few replies ago. FS9 was on my drive and deleted about a year ago. At that time, I removed all folders pertaining to FS9. I just recently re-installed it on my drive, but again to the default directory. But as I said, since the reinstall, I have run Flight 1 utility. So I'm wondering if the previous install and deletion could be affecting things, although I don't see how.Mike

Hi Mike,I knew you ran that utility. I don't want you to think that I am not reading your posts!You might want to run regedit and do a search for FS9. and see if multiple paths show up.Thanks,

Hi JimAh, success. You were absolutely right, the problem was in the registry. For whatever reason, the registry entry for the FS9 path was pointing to the FSX directory. I'm at a loss how that could happen. Anyway, I edited it to read FS9 and the Start FS button now works correctly. Thanks a million for you help.Mike

Great!!
