A Few Problems

(1/3) > >>

EHM-2144 Terry:
Most of these problems may be down to me as I uninstalled a load of programs about a week ago so I may have taken out some of the OS files.

I done a download of the timetable and flight notes. Extracted the files and then, when I opened them they came up as some type of coding, i.e. squares and other characters on the page.

Flight Notes.  Both files opened with characters

Timetable.  when I run program, error message said: Component 'MSINET.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid

If it comes down to a reboot of my pc, (which is long overdue) does anyone have any suggestions about setting the pc up so fs9 runs better.

Many thanks

Hi Terry,

Firstly welcome to EHM! :)

Ok, now on to your problems... The flight notes are a couple fo Microsoft Word Documents. You will need MS word to read these, if you don't have it, let me know and I will see about converting it for you.

Second The timetable downloader... This sounds like you do not have a component registered. Try downloading and installing the flight logger first then try running it. Do you have a software firewall (Norton, AVG  or OneCare etc) running that may be stopping it?

What operating system are you using? XP? If you decide to format your PC the only thing to remember with FS is try and keep background tasks to a minimum so try not to install too many programs that runn all the time in the background like HP printer monitors or RealPlayer schedulers etc. These sort of programs eat small amounts of cpu time that when all coupled together will have an effect on your Frame Rate in FS.

EHM-2144 Terry:
Thanks Phil

Will try all you said.  

I only have microsoft works i'm afraid.  

This is quite an old pc really, but have upgraded it mainly on memory, graphics etc over the last 3 years but generally not a bad spec considering.  Hopefully will be getting a top end gaming pc soon though.

OS system is XP SP2.  2.4 P4,  1gb memory,  nvidia fx5500 gps and dare I say it is a dell machine:$

Firewall is microsoft and anti-virus is AVG.

Let you know how I get on.

EHM-1703 Philip:
Well you should be able to load those files on Microsoft works, let me know if you cant (you may have to go to the import menu!)

Cheers,

EHM-2144 Terry:
I have done the reboot Phil.  Downloaded timetable and flight notes again but unfortunately still get same problems.  Tried to import etc but still not able to get them to open or install. :[

With the Timetable it shows that this is done in excel which I do not have either but I do have Microsoft works spreadsheet.

I was wondering is there any chance I could perhaps speak to someone on Teamspeak?

Terry
