Huh, so that runs FSX as administrator automatically? Neat. So now I can just double-click to open FSX instead of selecting from the right-click menu.

Ok Thanks, I did the "Run As Administrator" option and it WORKED      .  That's great but did I miss something when I purchased the package that should have told me that?  I have used it "admin" for running spyware programs but never for a game.  Anyway glad it's working.  I even got it to work in Multi-player on a LAN but it doesn't know what the missles are.

I do like Markoz post on how to make it default to run as admin and this should have been built into the program or a pop-up on first launch.

Now I have one computer with flickering graphics but that's a Radeon problem that I have to work on.
