I cannot seem to get an answer anywhere else so I thought I would try here. I downloaded the beta and installed last Thursday (31 Aug 06). It ran fine and activated with my key just fine. I played throughout the weekend and flew a little multiplayer and free flights without a time limit. So yesterday I go to play and I get an error message stating " An error occurred while attempting to activate the product. The problem may be due to an incomplete installation of the application. Re-installing the application may resolve the problem. Otherwise, please contact product support for assistance." So I click ok and the game boots up like normal, except the Multiplayer icon is gone. So I decided to fly some missions and they worked fine until I get the " Thanks for trying Flight Sim X. Please activate your product to experience it all". But I already did activate it and all of the sudden it stopped working. If anyone else has experienced this or hasn't I would like to know. I have contacted Fileplanet and Microsoft. Microsoft said they couldn't help until the full release. Fileplanet has yet to respond, but I am not getting my hopes up that they can even help. I was really looking forward to playing this as I am going to be in Iraq when the full release comes out and I haven't got a decent enough laptop to run it anyways..lol. So please if anyone has any input or solutions I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.Ryan LandisUSAF SSGTAir Force Special Operations CommandMC-130P "Combat Shadow" Crew Chief
