Thnx Di, I never saw his sig . Setup looks good . Try some of the tweaks from Bojotes .

Well, currently I don´t use FSX because i can´t activate it ( Don´t know why, it just gives the messsage that there´s a technical problem and I should try later.) But I got an average of 43 FPs when I tested my setup with FSX Mark11.

Ah ok, do you know how to use the event viewer, I do not have much idea about windows as I am a linux person. I would not ask you to take the long road of reformatting and reinstalling everything. wait till someone more knowledgeable with windows checks this post.

Is there a possibility of a firewall/AV blocking the activation connection?

I better get my eyes checked , I never noticed the activation part silly of me. Superpilot she is right you must be having a firewall or any anti virus blocking certain connections.

If there is no windows firewall/AV blocking it, perhaps a router built in firewall?

Hmm, I don´t know.Let me tell the whole story: Before I upgraded to my current system (new CPU and MOBO) I had FSX running with lots of addons and no problem. then i decided to reinstall and try the FSXMark11 benchmark test to see where I´m standing with this new build. so i deinstalled my good working installation, made a new one and could register successfully. After the test I installed some sceneries and planes and FSX got corrupted in some way (I think so). However after installing some scenereis and planes, FSX crashed without no reason and I couldn´t fix this. So I de- and reinstalled everything again. This time I was unable to register. So I reinstalled the 4th time. Then everything with the registration went well but I got a new error with FSX closing without any knowing what could cause this. So another reinstall was to be done. And this is where I´m standing now.Btw. I just tried one of the things Microsoft says to be done if this problem happens but no avail... I think I´m stick to FS9 till I buy acceleration and a new registry code. Maybe I´ve registered too much...

Yeah. I think activation is limited to 5 times or something. If I remember correctly, is it activated in a way similar to office? As in you can choose online or offline activation?

There are only the options for an online activation or an phone activation. But phone doesn´t work, I´ll get an error with that either.

That's odd. Phone should work. Hmmm :/ I'm out of ideas then haha.

No. It's slightly slower. The only upgrade would be going to DX11 instead of DX10.1. You're best bet is a 560

I would have thought that if its a newer card, it may not be better but it would be more efficient and have the newer technologies like you mentioned, DX11

I only got three. One for my bro, one for the old desktop and one for the big PC that lives down the lane.

It could be 3 but it is limited.

HelloIf the hardware does not change then it should not matter how many times your activate. Each install on a certain PC configuration will generate a unique numerical code which is decremented as hardware is changed out.This number once it goes below a certain point it will trigger the activation challenge, a phone call will usually sort it out.Certain types of hardware have a different weighting in this scheme.It has been this way with MS software since Windows 95 was around, it works so I would doubt if they have changed it.Here is a link to an explanation of Windows XP activation requirements, the FSX scheme will be very similar technology if not exactly the same. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457054.aspx

it will matter if you do a OS upgrade.

I hear that Flight activation is limited , you better call up MS.Hey if you are doing a multiple install of fsx and using the activation code, that may be the problem, I am not sure how microsoft registers your serial either with the mac address or what.
