When I do that it comes up with the same page as above. Is that it then done?

I think I may have worked out how to operate the FS Registry fix. What is the FS9.exe file? Is that the one in the FS folder with the picture of an aircraft and labelled FS9?

EHM-1997 Alexander:
Yep

EHM-1242 Stef:
Ian,

Just a hint: in Control Panel -> Folder Options -> 'View'-tab, you may want to switch off / disable the option "Hide extensions for known filetypes" (this is what it's called in WinXP/Vista. Don't know exactly in Win7 though)

This option is in fact a bitch, especially when working with the files themselves like you have experienced just now (and trust me: you will find yourself doing this more often then you may want to). There is FS9.ini, FS9.exe, FS9.dll: when file-extensions are not displayed, how are you going to tell the difference easily between these files!?!?

M$$ and their continous ever lasting efforts to 'dumb down' the end-users with such totally useless features which only lead to problems...  >:(

Cheers,
Stef

To help out here, easiest way in Windows 7 is to open a Windows Explorer/My Computer window, click on the Organize menu, and choose Folder and Search Options. Then, under View, untick Hide extensions for known filetypes.
