I am sorry to have posted in the wrong place and I thank every responder for being so gentle with me. Also I want to report that it has been solved and I have it running. Many thanks to all! All those like me depend on folks like you!
Man, there is so much stuff here I am like a blind dotg in a meat house. Does FSX run on Windows 8? I installed it and activated it, but don't know how to start it! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
