I did as you told me .nothing happened . The overhead buttons , the majority of them are inactive , the don´t show any color , neither orange. I can´t  get the plane to fly... MCP panel shows orange messages but the overhead panel has its buttons dead...

1. Uninstall the 777 Captain.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Reinstall the 777 Captain (use the 'Run as administrator' option for Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1)
4. Reboot your computer.

Now....You might need to run FSX as an administrator. Especially if FSX is installed in C:\Program Files! I run FSX using the 'Run as administrator' option all the time, even though my FSX is installed well away from C:\ and C:\Program Files! My FSX is installed on another drive and partition (J:\Flight Simulator X)).

For instruction #1 - You might need to do a complete uninstall. See KB #685 for full details (Check-in to Your Profile > Product > Customer Support > Search KB). If you do that:
For instruction #3 - Try using the Manual Offline Activation option. 1) This will allow many activations, without exceeding your activations (it only counts as one activation). 2) The chances are that it will succeed, whereas the Instant Online Activation may fail.

Hope this helps

One more thing. Turn your Anti Virus program off (or disable the shields) because sometimes they see the installer (or a file being installed) as a threat and it will block the installer from installing properly or prevent/remove the file it considers to be a threat.

No files being installed by the Captain Sim installer are threats to your computer.

Nevertheless , thank you again for your time and effort.

Hi , Mark , I did what you have told me to do and it worked , thank God!
I am grateful . All buttons are working just fine. Though I am facing an old issue with the 777 I used to have in the past. More often than not , I take off and an alarm sounds  alerting the plane is  stalling , and , guess what, I crash the 777 down . I think it has to do with the payload and fuel weight . The G.W I put into the FMC is the one I got from FSX menu. Is it right , I mean how can I calculate the gross weight to put into the FMC. Sorry to bother you...

When you get to the PERF INIT page, press the LSK5L (beside <REQUEST). This will enter the correct ZFW/GROSS WT.

It saves you having to work out the ZFW.

I don't think that the v1.5 for the 777 Captain is out yet because Tanya has not posted anything in here about it.
