Running as Administrator? ....right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator" ....also, I think you can "repair" FSX buy placing the DVD in your computer and running it.

Hi Michael

thanks for your quick responce, Yes I am running adminstrator,I always click on that before I click on FSX,I think about the only thing I can do now,is to try an install,
I was going to uninstall fsx first and then install, I was looking in the control panel to do this but I cannot find FSX program in there,all it shows is FSX acceleration,but all the information is in FSX under microsoft games, do you know any other place where fsx files should be. could you please advise me how to go about this

thanks
