Everyone complains about the weather...

A couple of weeks ago, my P4 from the 1900s died. It was a slow death, and I managed to get most of my critical files moved off to another machine. I went shopping, and came up with a new machine which is finally really capable of running FS9 smoothly. I spent all of yesterday hooking up the new system, loading a separately-purchased copy of XP so I could still use my Gameport yoke and pedals, and installing software.When it came time to actually fly, I found I could no longer download real-world weather. I was connected to the Internet, and I even tried bypassing the router and going directly to the cable modem, but all to no avail. I shut off the firewall temporarily to test that. But finally, I found it. As a new machine, I hadn't gotten around to "registering" my legal copy of Windows. Once I did that, the weather download worked fine.So, file it in your bag of tricks. The error message doesn't mention this.
