PMDG Ops Centre notification
Ben, the only way to get the updated 300ER is to download the new installer for it. Uninstalling and reinstalling the same old version is not going to do anything. If the download is not associated with your account then you may have to access it using your email address and order number on the same page that you log in at PMDG. If you have lost this information there is an option to have it emailed to you.

Problems replacing computer components?
PMDG have not done email support in a long time. You will need to open a support ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com. They will get you back up and running. To the OP, for the 777, before you start the upgrade you can deactivate your key through the settings menu on the CDU. That will release the registration so that it is not counting against your limit.

PMDG Ops Centre notification
You cant update the 777-300ER through the Ops Center, you have to re-download the installer from where you bought the product. You can just run the installer again, no need to remove the old version first.

Key assignment for pitch trim....?
Just note that if you are using the 777 to test whether or not the trim buttons are working, you must have the hydraulics turned on.

change anologue clock in digital clock missing button simrate
Sure, it is the "CLOCK" button next to the "MIC" button to the left of where the old analog clock used to be. It is there no matter what type of clock you have installed. You can see it in the photo you posted. Just look for the button labeled "CLOCK" just below the PDF popup in your photo. Left click to start/stop/reset the timer. Right click to toggle acceleration on/off. Another useful tip; if you push the "MIC" button it will open the 2d radio panel. Happy Flying

A/T Use in High Wind Approaches
Any time you are interesed in finding information about aircraft limitations, the appropriately named "Limitations" section of FCOMv1 is a good place to start. As far as I know there is no wind limitation on a/p - a/t use. There is an operating limitation for a maximum takeoff and landing tailwind component of 15 knots. See FCOMv1 pg 179. There are also limitations on wind speeds for automatic landings on FCOMv1 pg 184: Headwind 25 knots Tailwind 15 knots Crosswind 25 knots These limitations are recommendations by Boeing, individual opeators can have a company SOP that adjusts these limitations.

Is there a program to help me taxi and not get lost at airports?
As far as I know there is no gauge included with it. You can run it as a window that overlays your FSX window but you would need to run FSX in windowed mode. Running FSX windowed works well for me but for some it may be a deal breaker. It may be worth a try to see how it works for you. Just download the 30 day free trial.

Is there a program to help me taxi and not get lost at airports?
The program runs external to FSX and it's primary window is a moving map display. I run FSX windowed and run FSCommander on a second monitor. You can also run it networked on a second computer. I recommend you download the 30 day fully functional trial to see if it will work out for you.

Is there a program to help me taxi and not get lost at airports?
FSCommander is a great flight planner and navigation tool. If you zoom in the moving map display it works great for situational awareness while taxiing. One thing I really like about it is it's ability to display AI and online traffic which makes it a great tool for self vectoring so I don't have to use the crappy FSX ATC and for when there is no ATC online with VATSIM. Google it and take a look at the screenshots page.

PMDG menu missing
There is nothing to fix. The newer products from PMDG have moved all setup functionality to the FMC so they do not have a menu selection in the FSX menu bar. So the fact that it is missing is not a problem because it is not there by design.

Error loading PMDG 777 aircraft
Make sure you have FSX SP2 installed. If so, you may want to try reinstalling the service pack since it appears you have some missing or corrupt files.

No Electronics
"No Electronics" is a passenger sign that illuminates to let passengers know when the use of electronic devices in the cabin is prohibited. Many airlines are replacing the "No Smoking" sign with a "No Electronics" sign. There is an option in the setup where you can select whether your aircraft is equipped with a "No Smoking" sign, "No Electronics" sign, or neither. The selector for the sign can be put in the On, Off, or Auto position. The EICAS message you are seeing informs the pilots that the cabin sign is illuminated. When you say "Pilot Input" I assume you are referring to the "Pilot Response" message on the EICAS. It is a warning to see if the pilots are still alert and occurs in cruise if you have not interacted with the aircraft in a while. It is an option that can be turned off in the setup.

Muting ILS Morse Code Identification Audio
In the bottom right corner of the Audio Control Panel is a switch to select the APP audio source. You can select L, C, R or MKR. Just to the left of that switch is a light that should NOT be illuminated if you don't want to hear the audio. If it is, click on the volume knob to the left of the light to turn off the audio. For reference the area I am talking about is labeled "9" in the illustration on page 343 of PMDG-777-FCOMv2.pdf
