That's odd. Usually running FSX as administrator will fix that (you are running as administrator, right?). If running as administrator doesn't help, then perhaps reinstalling might.  :-/

Thanks Boeing, I installed using the default user which has admin rights but have not been using the "run as administrator" to launch FSX.  I'll give it a go.  This might explain why the XP install works and the Vista and Win7 don't.  If it doesn't work I'll re-install.  Is there a "run as administrator" option for the set-up also?
