You haven't imput any of your flight information. You can't click START FLIGHT until you do that. And if you are already flying = MS FS is already running.

That was a screenshot after about an hour of trying to figure out what has been going wrong. I was tired of re-entering all of the information. Each time I tried it gave me the same message. That photo was just to show the contradictory nature of my issue. I've tried restarting, rebooting, and even re-installed ACARS - not to mention installing the newest version of ACARS. It was so odd...

This is what I'm talking about - and it's getting really frustrating as I would like to fly my checkride or any flight for that matter...

Are you running FSX as Administrator (or is it installed in C:\Program Files)?
Cheers!

I removed the interlock that would require anything to be run as admin - so basically anything I run logged into my system is 'Run as administrator'. It's odd because I didn't install anything, change anything, or otherwise. I've been running both programs the same way for months.

ACARS 96 Beta 7 has a different manifest that no longer tells Vista/Win7 that it requires elevated permissions - that may have an effect here. Do earlier versions still work?
Cheers!

The earlier version gave me the same issue, and by dumb luck I found the new version. I uninstalled the previous version and put the new one on my system and I'm getting the same issue. I'll remove it and see if that changes anything. Thanks for the heads-up.

Can you change the properties of the shortcut to run as Administrator? if we cannot detect the FS window and we're running Vista or Win7 it screams different permissions to me.
Cheers!

I just restored the user controls - I'm going to check it now and see what happens.

Ok - ran both normally. Then ran both as admin. Then ran FSX as admin and ACARS normal. Then switched. Still got nuttin'. I guess I'll keep trying.

The second dialog box. Is that an FSX dialog box?

Yes - when it says that FSX is not running, I tried to open it again to see what would happen. It says FSX is running. ACARS says it isn't. That's where the bulk of my confusion is coming from. I don't know who isn't talking to who. And I REALLY want to avoid re-installing FSX. I don't have the disks anymore.

I think I got it to work...it seems like there was a discrepancy between the location of the aircraft with respect to where the loaded flight plan said that it would be. That has never occurred to me. I found that by accident - trial and error. It wasn't working at Kennedy - try Dallas. Then it worked.

Please note that ACARS doesn't say that FSX isn't running - it says it's not "Ready to Fly", which is different. If FSX has a modal dialog box open, you are not "ready to fly".
Cheers!

Yeah - that had occurred to me...eventually. The issue was figuring out why. Thanks for helping me work through this. Much appreciated. Cheers.
