There are a few things for you to note:
1. DO NOT install into FS2004's default directory (Program Files) INSTALL INTO C:|
2. Install the 9.1 patch
3. Install the no-cd patch
4. Right-click the FS9 icon, then Properties, then Compatibility Mode: XP the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
All will work!

Hi Paul. I suspect you might be running Windows 10 in Tablet Mode. This is intended to make it touch-screen friendly, like a tablet.
If, like me, you don't need this feature you can easily change it to Desktop Mode which is very similar to what you know & love in older versions of Windows.

You will probably need to restart your PC for the new settings to take effect.

Hello Doug....
One of my sons bought my new £180 HP Laptop as a Xmas Present for me (PC World), (I already have an Android Nexus 7" Tablet) for watching Youtube.
The assistant asked if we wanted the "Touch-screen" version of the HP Laptop or not. We agreed not, just the normal screen for use with the Keyboard, Touchpad, and/or Wireless Mouse,
so I assume that the Windows 10 Laptop version installed works in the same/similar way as my Windows 8.1 Tower Computer with its QWERTY Keyboard and Mouse.
There doesn't appear to be a "Tablet Option" in the Laptop, so I assume there is not one, in its installed version of Windows 10.
The 14" screen is much more practical than the 7" Android Tablet screen for watching Youtube Videos!
The Laptop is useful for quick browsing whilst sat in my comfy armchair wearing my slippers.
The massive Tower Computer (Win 8.1) and Joystick are used for fighting off the incoming Alien Spaceships from the Planet Zorg wearing my Pilots helmet, silk scarf, goggles, and leather gloves!
...... ... ... ...!
Cheers, Doug!
