Been having some trouble with FS2004 lately, nothing major but some problems with scenery not showing up in AES and some other minor things. Have read many post and have been told by people that some problem may be caused by haveing it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9. (Win7 64) and that I should in stall directly to the C:\ drive. Anyone had any issues with this? Don't really mind the work, acutally would be a good way to cleanout a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore but just wondering if it's worth it. Thanks.Brad

Installing FS in a location other than under "Program files" will avoid many of the permission and security check issues which abound in Win7.Spend some time in the dedicated Win7 forum - there is at least one "step by step" post there showing how it is done.

When I built my FS PC 3 years ago I installed 2 hard drives. One for the OS and related files and one only for FS. Given the cost of hard drives that would be my recommendation irrespective of your OS.

Well, went ahead and took the plunge and uninstalled FS and reinstalled to the C:\ drive. Have noticed already how much smoother it's running. Alot of that i think was clearing out years and years of downloads that I wasn't using anymore. Anyway running better.
