Navigation Log Error

[Xyn_Air]

When I call up the Navigation Log (the one located on the kneeboard in FS) on my desktop system, I get a "page unavailable" error.  I went to check on the Navigation Log on my laptop, and it is functioning just fine on that system.

The biggest difference between the two systems is that the laptop I brought from the States while my desktop is a Japanese model.  The Japanese system is newer and has better specs than my laptop, and generally outperforms my laptop.  However, sometimes operating system and program files are not always in the same location.

Does anyone know what the Navigation Log needs to be functional?  As in, what is it looking for in either the Flight Simulator folder or what is it looking for on the computer to come up?  I was wondering if there might be a missing font or a misplaced file (such as Word Pad?) that I could relocate, move, or edit.

Not a super-super critical issue, as I believe there are add-on NavLogs available (suggestions welcome).   But, it is something that I have been wondering about for awhile now.

Thanks and all the best,

EDIT:
As a workaround, if all else fails I can always load the flight up on my laptop, create the flight in the flight planner, and then write down (print out, should I ever get around to buying a printer again) the NavLog information provided there to use when I load up the same flight on my desktop.  Heh.  That would actually work if I cannot get the issue resolved on my desktop.

My system.....US, XP2 Home(SP2)

Location of 'navlogx.htm' is in the same folder as your FS9.cfg. (C:/Documents and Settings/..yada-yada../FS9/ on the US system)

The document 'navlog0.htm' is created when you start the sim.

Thank you for the advice about where to look.  Everything was where it should be, but there was one key difference between my U.S.-issue laptop versus my Japanese-issue desktop: the folder where all my settings are kept on the Japanese system starts with my name in Japanese characters.  I am guessing that FS2004 is having a difficult time (for whatever reason) creating NavLogs because of character naming conventions.  I could be, however, way off, since I only know about 10% of what I am talking about.

Still, your advice was super helpful because it did teach me where to look for FS settings in a place I had not thought to look.  As a side note, to get there I first had to set the folder options to view hidden files and folders.  Sneaky Windows.  ;D

Strangely, FSX (I have and use both) seems to have no problem creating and viewing NavLogs.  Weirdness abounds.  Ah, well.  Mainly I wanted to have access to the NavLogs for fuel calculations, but since I cannot get FS2004 to cooperate with me, I have been learning to do those calculations by hand.  Probably good for me.  The biggest problem is that I have to wait until I am in-flight to start doing the calculations (that is, no pre-flight estimates for me!) as I need a baseline to go from.  Suggestions?

Still, I guess the easy work-around (that I mentioned above) is to generate the NavLog on the computer that can do it and use that information when I am flying on the computer that doesn't want to do NavLogs.  Oh, what a strange world we fly in.  ;)

Thanks again!
