yup...you have to run BOTH FSX and VasFMC "as administrator" (assuming you are running Vista as well) works for me at least.

Ok i set VasFMC to run as admin but can't find how to make sure fsx is going to run as admin. All the run as admin on the fsx icons are greyed out so I can't select them. It doesn't make sense why it would run as admin as I am the only user for the computer and setup as admin lol..
Is this just a Vista issue?

yeah matt it is a Vista thing. When I installed FSX I had to let it install once and then go back and install it while clicking "run as admin" on the .exe The thing with vista is that it does not allow programs to interact with each other unless both are given admin status at the start up of each (even if you are the only user and are set up and logged in as the admin) It is strange that "run as admin" would be greyed out. I wold make sur that the account you are logged on with is the only admin account before I did anything else.
hope that helps.

ok .. i'm doing it now to see if it fixes the problem. i find it weird that it would totally crash your computer and not let u do anything but turn it off manually instead of just booting you to the desktop.

when you reinsall it do u uninstall it first? lol and when you put the dvd in and it starts up I assume you close it and browse the disc.. What file on the disc do you right click on and run as admin? ..
When I went to setup before as admin and it started the setup process the only choices I had were to repair or remove..
