ok, before you go looking in the registry, Can I make a suggestion.

You could try repairing p3d, but run as administrator using the p3d setup program or Why not uninstall p3d and then reinstall as admin. You can do that without losing any 3rd party addon that you have, they should all remain, you can also uninstall without deactivating p3d. You can also backup the folders as a safeguard.

So go windows settings, then apps (windows 10) uninstall client 1st, when asked do you want to de-activate, say no, then you can un-install content and scenery, then uninstall the main p3d file.

When you re-install, make sure you right click on the setup folder and run as administrator and choose the same location you have p3d installed now.

forgot to mention, temporarily disable your antivirus

I would respectfully suggest our friend needs some help with this problem because suggesting he goes into the Registry could be disastrous.

Maybe someone could do a TeamViewer session with him.

hi Ray,

I did not suggest he goes into the registry. I think he did not install p3d as admin, and this is where the problem may lay.

I didn’t say you did Brian but it was mentioned by another user.

By his own admission he is not good with computers so any instructions will need to be precise.

Sorry, I am trying to help, but I don't have the time tonight to do a teamviewer session.

If my instructions that I gave earlier do not work I may be able to do a teamviewer session with him tomorrow.

Cheers Brian

i had activesky working perfect in my computer for almost a year with prepar3d installed without the "run as admin" icon, i would just select it every time i played     then i tried to update to the beta version which i screwed up something fierce 

so i figured i would uninstall and just go back to the orginal

now for some reason the two programs are not talking,       

i have even thought about doing the upgrade of prepar3d to version 5.3,     however i have no idea how to do it correctly and i am not sure activesky works with it

 

the repair idea sounds great                   just need to know how to do that?

 

thanks for all the help guys        sorry i am not as computer smart as the rest of the folks

I think your issue is with activesky, as you say you updated to the beta version, which should also be compatible with V5.1 HF1, screwed it up then uninstalled, now have all these issues. It could be an issue with your activation details, it could be a number of things. I could tomorrow maybe do a team viewer session tomorrow, I am in the Uk and it is now 11:30pm here.

Uninstall asp3d, do your uninstall of p3d and re-install as per my earlier instructions (make sure you back up all your p3d folders) 

Check on the activesky forum as there maybe someone else who has had the same issue in the past, which may give you a sollution.

 

Cheers Brian

I mentioned the registry Ray, and just like Brian, I never suggested he go near it.

Hey 13ifs40,

Not a problem, When and if you are ready and you still are unable to get activesky working then let me know and I will try and help with a teamviewer session.

2 foot of snow, we are lucky to get 2mm of snow here, although I am in London, UK so very rare these days.

Enjoy your week.

But you asked “is that info in the Registry?”. Rhetorical perhaps.

Absolutely.

As ( at least, I thought) signified by the use of 'Ah yes, but.....' preceding what you quoted.

Hello Rob or Sparkrite

 

   so i broke down and brought a brand new version of activesky and i have the following error

 

Prepar3d location not found                      We are unable to locate required folders/files

 

i installed it in the D;\ prepar3d V5 folder

 

so if i am correct that means it is not talking to Prepar3d for some reason

@13ifs40 Did you download the Open Beta version 8054 from here:

https://hifisimtech.com/downloads/

It should run fine after that.
