How to restart Flight Simulator X

Featured Replies

I have just rebuilt my PC with a new Motherboard, CPU, new 'C' drive SSD etc etc with new Windows 10 operating system on it.

On my old 'C' drive which is still connected I had installed Microsoft Simulator x.

Unfortunately I do not have the disks. SO when I open up my old 'C' drive I can look at the flight programme and when I click on the icon to run the programme it flags up two errors.

Can anybody help me overcome this and get the programme to work again?

Error 1        We're sorry, an unexpected error occurred which is preventing product activation from being completed ERROR CODE 1-800004005

Error 2       Unable to create default cache directory:

'C:\ProgrameData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryCache

 

Thanks

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

If you have no joy with the reinstall, perhaps D/L FSX-STEAM for a nominal one-time fee - it's almost hassle-free, and you would have FSX while you wait with the rest of of us for FS2020...

Update.

So I have managed to find my Microsoft Flight Simulator X disks together with my Flight Simulator X Acceleration expansion pack.

Problem I now have is that when I start up my Microsoft Flight Simulator X programme it flags up error code 'activation from being completed ERROR CODE 1-800004005

I cannot seem to activate my Acceleration Disk

 

Another problem is I also have another add on 'Airbus A380 v2@ for Flight Simulator X after helping to find the right file to download to when I start up I can see the A380 as a plane option in main menu but when I go to click on the plane the WHOLE programme shuts down.   ANY ideas anyone

 

Thanks.
