New Vista Computer with Small C drive

Recommended Posts

I have asked JD this in a private email but I think other folks with new Vista 32 bit computers would find his answers helpful in this forum. I have tried to install to my D drive but come up with missing files and errors.My new computer has arrived and I am busy installing all my Flight Sims and payware. What I have:32 bit Vista Dual Core 2 Computer C drive is a small high rpm drive primarily for the OS (32 gig) D drive is a RAID pairing 2 x 320 gig hard drives Radar Contact CD with ver 4.0 Downloaded files rc401update.exercv4_3831.ziprcv4_3843.zip FS9FSX I assume the number from my old computer wont be any good for the new computer? How do I install RC4 on D drive ? Is there a special procedure to follow to install using Vista? Cheers Peter

the cd will ask you where you want to put it. tell id d: or a subdirectory on d:when you run the rcv401update, make sure you tell it the same directoryunzip the zips into the same directory on d:then request a keyjd

Might be up and running with RC4 by the weekend perhaps.Peter

But when I do that and click on the rc4.exe to start RC4 I get a message saying the program is not registered and I should send off an email requesting a new key. The key supplied by previous email (following the 401update) does not seem to work. I suppose I can skip straight to the final zip file update to avoid emailing for and receiving the key any more times than necessary. Or are you saying I do not require anymore keys than the original one emailed to me.If I try to use that key following the unzipping of later rc4.exe files in the directory I get a "Server Not Responding" message at the top of the splash screen. Hence the request by email for yet another key.Thanks for quick response.Pete
