Hi Vaughan, You are quite right in what you say. That was always the way it happened when I was using VISTA and has been when installing other products on Windows 7 64Bit. I am quite new to Windows 7 64Bit and for some reason or other, something did not go as planned each time I tried to run the Livery Manager. I had to go to properties and select "Run as Administrator"; normally you should not have to do that, it should automatically steer you towards "run as administrator". Anyway, I am not an expert in IT, I am but a humble geologist who is happy that the problem is resolved and that I can enjoy PMDG's finest creation to date. " Bravo Zulu !" as we used to say the the Royal Navy (Well Done!).

If you go to "Product Support", there is an entry for the Liveries Manager problem, when using Windows 7 64 Bit. I have followed the instructions and am running the Liveries Manager as "Administrator" all the time. Problem is resolved. I wish I had spotted that post earlier.

I too figured out how to select the add on livery which I wanted to install but right after I have selected that new livery, the livery manager crashes. Windows search for a problem but does not find one.

Well, no one seems to have a solution to my on-going liveries manager problem so I better create a ticket and hope that someone at PMDG can resolve this soon. Why could they not have left the installation of liveries, the way it was before (when there were no problems). "If it's not broken, don't try to fix it". It is really spoiling my enjoyment of this add on.

I eventually figured out how to install the liveries using the liveries manager. It is a similar routine, to the LeveLD 767-200. However, after I have clicked on the livery I want to install, the livery manager stops working due to an error. Windows tries to find a solution to the problem but does not find one and the livery manager program shuts down.I am running Windows 7 64Bit with SP1 installed.It is very frustrating to have these problems. Other than that it is a beautiful product, just as all PMDG products are.I wish someone would resolve these issues soon. Sebastian
