Negative... I just found a similar post that suggest running both FSX and CM as the administrator? Right click on each ... select administor?

Thanks. Signature - DoneConfiguration Manager - Run as Admin worked as suggestedAdditional question - Should I run FSX as Admin? I remember seeing something about that too. What would be the bennefits of doing so? If you can point me in the right direction on that I would really appreciate it.

Hi John, The reason why you would need to run FSX as admin is usually write related, being that with FSX installed in the default folder of C:\Program Files (x86) without making any securty changes will block FSX from making writes to needed files, such as weights. There are a ton of other examples but a lot of us just avoid installing in this directory altogether. You can cut microsofts micromanagement hold on it though by adding full control in the "Securty" tab. Just right click the FSX folder and choose Security, highlight your name in the "Group or user names:" section, then choose "Edit". Once again, highlight your name and add Full Control Permissions in the section below. It's a pretty huge blunder on Microsofts part to not have write privileges by default since a lot of games won't run properly without them. I never install anything in either C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) because of this.You may also need to disable UAC (User account control) in the User section in control panel.
