Decided to upgrade to Windows 10 followed by a clean re-install of FSX-SE. All went well until I tried to install 737 Pilot in Command ad it just will not install, I get the initial screen but after it disappears. Has anyone experienced this ad found a cure?? Thanks raffer

Thanks Poppet - i have deleted all except libraries/documents which I could not find and still the fault remains - FSX offers to repair or uninstall but to install. re the hidden folders - I can see them but still don`t know how (or if) to delete them. IUnless someone can offer another solution to try it looks as though I may have to reinstall Windows 10 to get a clean pc but that really is the last hope raffer should read "but NOT to install"

Tried ccleaner but still got the problem How do I remove hidden folders - bearing in mind I am a very elderly non-tech idiot raffer

I recently had to reinstall C:/ from a Backup but now am unable to install FSX. I get the Repair/Uninstall page and not the install page. i have searched Regedit for FSX reference and deleted where found. Can nayone offer help please Many thanks raffer

I`m sure this has been answered before but I can`t find it ....sooh Why does FSX-SE want a screen res of 1024x720 when I am using 1280x800 and how can I stop this error Many thanks raffer

Thanks John - my other problem is that since originally buying RC4 (as a download btw) I have changed my email address more than once and I can`t remember which I used for RC4. Retained the key . I`ll drop him a line##Thanks George

Is the CD still available for purchase online??? I have managed to lose my RC4 software and looks like I need to re-purchase - preferably on a CD Thanks George Aldridge

OK Guys - I have solved the problem George

Just installed JS4100 and tried to add 3 British Liveries via the addon facility on the DVD. However, I get a message that version 1.10.000 of each Livery is already installed and the version on the DVD is version 1.0.000. To contimue I need to uninstall the version1.10.000 When I check the "Select Aircraft" there are only two liveries BAe & PDMG. The select all is checked. I have also looked at the installation in my File Manager which does not show the 3 British liveries. Can anyone suggest where I might find these livery files?? or how I can install them?? Many thanks George

On both my Saitek Yoke and Logitech Extreme 3D Joystick the Throttle and Rudder sliders are not working properly. The Throttle operates up to about 80% but the Yoke is OK to the Left but very very little to the Right. All other aspects of both units are OK. I would be most grateful for any advice, particularly on the Rudder which causes absolute mayhem when trying to taxi Many thanks George

I usually open in "Windowed" screen but when the problem occurs I just get the taskbar entry. I`ll try ther above ideas when next it happens Many thanks Guys George

After clicking on "Fly Now", FSX will occasionally open the Flight in the Taskbar and I am unable to maximise the screen. Is there a key selection that will do this without having to restart FSX ?? Many thanks George

Tried all 3 of your suggestions Ramon and although they ran ok the game still doesn`t start.I think the possibility of the Router being the cause is certainly worth looking at once I can locatethe information. If it is the prob I`ll report backThanks to al;l of you for your continued helpRegardsGeorge

I am using W7-64bitI am resident in the UK - speaking EnglishNo error events, just the small screen with the error message as shewn aboveI have uninstalled and reinstalled GFWL Marketplace client.I`m writing the ms as per Dons suggestionThansk to both you Guys for you helpGeorge

I asked the following questions a short time ago but as I have not been able to resolve them I am taking the liberty of asking again in the hope I am get a better result.I have installed the new MS Flight but when I try to open the game I get an error that"Games for Windows - Live failed to initialize. Another Windows - Live game may runningor the product may be corrupted. (80070005)I don`t have another w-live game running and I have uninstalled, downloaded and reinstalled4 times with the same error.I have also tried to open Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace and here again I get an errorTroubleshootA required Windows component is disabled on your machine.Do you want to learn how to fix this problemWhen I click on Yes I get a Browser page open at X-Box Live with the messageThat shouldn`t have happened. It appears you`ve found a glitchbut no help or advice.I have tried all the known Forums without success - does anyone here have some ideas??I have also got hold of an old PC running XP with a very slowish CPU. Flight installed OK and although it says the PC is much lower than its requirements the game runs - just about for me to see what I am missingMany thanksGeorge

Thanks Carlos - I don`t have a wireless setup just the ethernet cableHope you remember how you cured the problem - I`ll keep my finger crossedRegardsGeorge

Many thanks Rob - I`ll take my time over this and hopefully get back in due courseRegardsGeorge

Did say I was not technical :-( Do you mean by "In your router" something inside the actual router or is there somewhere in W7 that I go to.Apologies for my ignoranceGeorge

as an elderly and not technical body, I am puzzled by "opening ports" so any clarification would be appreciated.I have added GFW-Live to my Firewall (which made no difference) now I am stuck.Thanks for your help guysGeorge

Thanks Carlos - followed your link and tried the ideas but still get the error that GFW-Live failed to initializeGuess I`ll have to keep tryingGeorge

Hi RobI haven`t disabled any services (to my knowledge) and have ensured the Updates are updated.Can`t understand why when I am sent to xbox for help & there is not anything that I can see that wouldhelp or suggest another contact.RegardsGeorge

Hi SamSame result with Flight installed to default location. Error message reads as followsGames for Windows - LIVE failed to initialize. Another Games for Windows - LIVE title may be running, or your product installation my be corrupted. You may need to repair or reinstall Microsoft Flight (80070005)I have tried `repair` but that says it can`t find the programme so I have uninstalled and redownloaded etc etc.Hope this helps RegardsGeorge
