When running SF Sky World, the game will not start up, infact the game will not start up at all! the loading screen pops up for 4 seconds and then just closes...now I cannot play FS and I am really upset!

If anyone could help I would be very appreciative!

Hmmm. Sounds tricky. I have FS Sky World and have no probs.
You using the normal shortcut or is it one in the package?

Im using the shortcut that goes on the desktop, it is just a white square. like a setup file icon.

this is upseting me horribly...I just reformatted the PC and overclocked the card, got all my aircraft installed and am ready to play, now here I am cant even get the game started....GRRR, i unistalled skyworld and the game still wont start up...i hope i dont have to reinstall...

Hey, you never installed it in the FS9 root folder did you?
You can't install it in there.

Try deleting your FS9.cfg file. When you restart FS, this file will be automatically rewritten. It is a good starting point for a none starting sim.

So you hadn't played FS before you did all that?
I'd suggest your problem lies elsewhere and the fact that when you uninstalled it it did not help convinces me.

Hey alright I will try to do that!!! brb!

Hey - you beat me to it Matt.

alright I installed skyworld again, tried it nothing!!! I deleted teh CFG...NOTHING!!!

do you think I need to uninstall skyworld then delete the CFG and try again?

Yeah that didn't seem to work either...anything else I could try before I reinstall everything  :(

Midwest - I'd be really surprised if it was FS Sky World, unless you are installing it in the FS9 folder - are you?

No, I installed it in C://FS Skyworld 2004

it's the 1.0 version, this did happen before i reformatted and i just restarted the computer and then it was fine.  But no not this time.  I don't know if It was something to do with the FS9 patch I installed ?

LOL strangely enough I just tried it again out of the blue and it works??? haha, well thank you guys, ill go with this for now, I will play without sky world for a bit and then maybe ill get brave and install it!!!

I am running the same version as you and seeing as it is an automatic installation there are few areas where it can go wrong.
Maybe someone else can help.

EDIT: Oh well you have FS back now.  ;D

Saitek and Matt, you guys are good men!  :)
