Hi Bryan I have decided to try and get FS9 running on windows 7 x64 due virtual memory problems on the windows 7 x32 which I have read that you can run more memory on 64 where 32 is limited to 4 gig now trying it with 8 gig, but come across a problem when I try to activate the PIC 737 it just wont activate, not yet tried the PMDG 737 & the Level D to see if they activate. Have you come across any one with activation problems with W7 64. Never had any problems with activation on the 32 bit.Thank John

Thanks Bryan never got that far as to put the SP1 in, works fine now, pity you dont work for Flight one because I have spent a week with their customer servies trying to get the Level D 767 for FSX to install on windows 7 64 with no luck as yet, Not had much luck with FSX had it 18 months and never done a flight to date, finally got a computer to run it and now its dogged with faults loading things. However I think I will stick to FS9 after spending a small fortune on addons.Anyway thanks Bryan for your help.John

Yup, if using Vista or Win 7, the Speech Recognizer must be set to English - US, not English - UK.That's tripped up more than user from Blighty.Best,
