I have downloaded both FSCopilot and FSInn in their proper order. I have Windows 8.1. Everything in both downloads have been set in Windows 7 compatibility mode with administrator rights. My UAC was turned all the way up.When I go to FSX in the drop down I get the control panel. The pop up that processes the aircraft works. The little control panel appears on the left side of the screen. When the processing of aircraft is done, there's no pop up that appears that I can click on to energize the control panel. When I go into the control panel by clicking on Set, I go to the Network , type in the servers, close the box, then go back in and the servers are gone. Everything related to FSX is in Windows 7 compatibility mode  and (86) Program Folder and they all work. The only thing I can think of at this point is that maybe FSInn and FSCopilot should go  directly into The Microsoft FSX Folder instead. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

No they do not go in the FSX folder.  Did you click the VATSIM button on the Control Panel to attempt to connect? 

No, I have all info. for Vatsim except for a password ( can't find it ). Good idea. There must be a little file that is preventing me from having a connection.

After the aircraft processing that pop up that usually shows up to activate the control panel isn't there.
