I'm unable to start a flight with ACARS. I'm running Windows 7 and FSX. I can connect to the ACARS servers but once i try to start the flight I get the following message, "DVA ACARS has encountered and error: Maybe running on WideClient, but FS not running on Server, or wrong FSUIPC. Any help with this error would be great. Thank you.

Dan...first of all, welcome to DVA.
I experienced the same problem when I did my new W7-64 install. First, go to the FSUIPC site (www.schiratti.com/dowson.html) and install the latest version (it's free, and you don't need to uninstall the older version). Also, try running FSX as an Administrator by right clicking on FSX.exe and checking the box in the Compatibility tab.
If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall ACARS, but DO NOT check any of the FSUIPC options. It took me a couple of tries, but ACARS does work like a champ on W7--FSINN was a bigger challenge.

Dan, you don't even need to go to the Schiratti site, inside each fleet aircraft installer and the ACARS installer has an option to install both the latest versions of FSUIPC and .NET. If you have a registered copy of FSUIPC it will not affect that registration.
Not sure why you wouldn't check the FSUIPC option - unless there's something within W7 that would call for that.

Thank you both for your responses. I was able to get it working by reinstalling ACARS. You are correct about FSINN. Thats my next challange. For some reason it does not connect to the VATSIM voice servers. Thanks again.

Check some of Andrew's postings regarding the servers....the USA servers have been, uh, in flux. I'm using the UK server. You might try the West Coast box.
I went through heck and high water to get FSINN stable...the VATSIM Forum was very helpful. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of FSINN. Run all of the FSINN executables as Administrator AND specifically allow them out through Windows Firewall and/or your AVP.

Dan - if you need one-on-one help let me know....as Jack said - run through the forums and you should be good to go.
