Hi Ed.

As long as you are installing them using the "Run as administrator" option, the installation and use of the 727-100/200 should be fine.

When you consider that David has said (twice) that he solved this problem by buying and installing Acceleration. I think that he has a very valid point. I have FSX Deluxe and Acceleration and I have never had this problem. I will admit that the A/P in 2.4 is not quite as good easy to use as v2.2 or v2.3, but once I got used to it, it works very well.

I guess if you look around, you can find FSX Gold Edition (FSX Deluxe and Acceleration in the one box) cheaply. It could be the way to go. Because MS don't sell FSX Deluxe and Acceleration separately anymore, then you'll have to get the Gold Edition. UNLESS you can buy a copy of Acceleration at an online auction site (like eBay).
