Hi guys,

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit, and I had this problem too. I followed Davrid's advice and downloaded some replacement textures from FlightSim.com, but when I copied the texture files b707_1_L to b707_9_t to the other folders the result was no different, the textures were still failing to load.

But then I downloaded Captain Sim's Legendary 727 and this time the model failed to load, and I got a Windows error
message telling me what had happened. This time, however, I tried running the program as administrator, i.e. I
right clicked on the FS9 entry in the Start menu and selected Run as Administrator, and hey presto, when I looked
in the Captain Sim B707 dialogue all the original textures were loading as they should. The 727 model loaded also,
so it looked like I had a solution to this problem at last. So, if you're having problems running programs in Vista
make sure you try running them as administrator as part of your error correction method. It looks like Vista is way
sensitive about user security.

Just for the record, I also had to run my TrackIR device as administrator to get it to work with these two birds.

Good luck.

Mike.
