I put it on just by itself and it looks good, more or less. I have trilinear filtering selected, anti-aliasing is selected and the target frame rate is set to 60. In all the other places where selections can be made, I have set them to high, very high or maximum values. It all looks pretty good. When I closed out of the program entirely and then went right back in, I get the below error message. What do I do now? I want to execute the program from the Desktop. After the install there was no Desktop icon, but I managed to get one there. That's when the error message started popping up. The program is definitely on the hard drive. I see it under Games. I click on it, and the error shows up.

I took my machine to my computer guru after I tried to associate an association with something that required an association but did not have such an association. So I associated my machine over to him. Before I took it over there, in my ignorance I ended up converting every icon on my Desktop to the one for Windows Media Center. When I tried to launch an icon, my computer opened WMC. Turns out a woman had done exactly the same thing on her machine yesterday. The fix is to find the sim in Games, then right-click and Send to Desktop as a shortcut. What I did was click Open with..., which moved the entire program away from where Windows wanted to find it. I associated thirteen bucks from my wallet into his for the fix. Now I get to install FSX again because we used Restore Point to go back to yesterday morning before I put FSX on. Aggravating, but I am on the go again...

Win7 is relatively new, so not everyone has it yet, and those that do probably do not have a handle on it's quirks yet.  You are a pioneer! 

I would of replied but this is the first time I've seen this thread.

Hello hhomebrewer,

I'm quite new to FSX (coming from the world of other games) and I'm not really speaking/writing english fluently (sorry!!). But I'm a Seven-addict.

I also faced "strange" reactions of Win7 with FSX ... and solved them (until now!!)

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

As mentioned above, Win7 is a very new operating system at this point.  I changed over a little while ago and have been undergoing the expected "trials and tribulations".  Many issues have required a lot of reserch and patience in getting them solved.   I some cases applying ("associating") a lot of money to solve them (new software to replace stuff that will not run).

best,
