I've got a problem trying to get FS2004 to open up on Windows XP Professional. I installed it, uninstalled it , installed it again, turned off firewalls on both windows and the anitvirus and still , the same thing keeps happening.
Everything installs well until I get up to the end of disk 4 , then a little window opens up labeled "cannot locate CD-rom". In that box it says to insert disk 4, select OK , and restart application.
I put the CD in , double click the FS2004 icon and this little box is all I can get.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on here?
This program always worked good on the old system. It's got me stumped !

It's at the end of the installation procedure, it doesn't seem to recognize the end of the disk.

Hi Again,
I got home from work this afternoon, and I uninstalled everything and rebooted the computer.
Then I went ahead and installed everything again , and this time I didn't try to do anything else while I was doing this ,,, heh! :p
I have two hard drives in this comptuer and I think things got confused somewhere along the line last night , because this time everything went really well. I GOT IT WORKING.
The other harddrive is the one out of my old computer and I have all the old files and stuff on that , so I didn't loose any of my past files. I think somehow I had it trying to install it over there or something , I dunno ,,,
Anyhow,,,now , I just have to get all the add-ons, that I had before, installed in to this. I hope I don't get confused again. Sheesh !
Thanks for your replies just the same !

Ha ha ,, yeah , Rob !!
I got the Flight Simulator installed and it is working , but now I seem to have a few little glitches here. Very strange.
Firstly , the "views" keeps changeing all by itself. Every second it changes from cockpit , to top down , to panel, to tower and so on , and so on ...
Also, the kneeboard keeps poping up . I click it off , and a few seconds later ,,, it's back again. Did I miss something here? I never had this problem with the old computer.
??? Hmmm ![/color]

I think you have your beer can stuck in your keyboard or the hat switch of the joystick.

I thought of that Frank, but I tried it without the joystick connected , and it still did it. So then I tried it with a different keyboard and that didn't fix it either.
Wow ! I've never had such a hard time to get this working. This is getting disappointing. ???
This computer was supposed to work BETTER than the old one.
