No one can figure out how to...
Get Microsoft flight simulator X working on a brand-new:
Dell XPS 720 RED, Vista Premium, Core2 Extreme QX6700 F-OC' Quad Core, 4GB Corsair Dominator F-OC' 1066MHz, Dual 768MB Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX, 500GB Seagate 7200 SATA, Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Extreme, 2 Samsung 21"ers and a 24" Wide.
It ran fine on the old Pentium 4, Pentium D, and
Quad core Q6600, Dual NVIDIA 8600 GTS 'All running Windows XP", but won't run at all on a Vista.
(Very poor jerky picture)
(fatal errors)
(your computer has run out of available memory)
(blue screen of death)
I installed KB#933590 (for Vista and multiple monitors) "at least the software will start now".
This Microsoft product will still not run on this Microsoft operating system at all, even at the "lowest resolution" and all "minimal" graphical settings, one monitor and full SLI.
Even on the old Pentium 4 it ran fine on ultrahigh settings.
Installed and reinstalled many times, started with a brand-new computer fresh with no other software, installed service pack one, no third-party software, other programs work fine on the new computer:
(Flight Sim 2004, BIOShock, World in Conflict, Myst URU online).
also installed KB 936710, KB 940105, KB 932246, KB 935280.
After waiting a week for Microsoft technicians to call back, all they did was fiddle with some AA settings, quality sliders, and tried taking jets off from different airport gates. Then they gave up!
(What a shameful waste of time that was)
It's been four weeks now and we have posted on over a half a dozen Web forms:
avsim.com
flightsim.com
simradar.com
nvidia forums.com
Dell forums.com
McAfee forums.com
computer forum.com,
Enlisted the help from the computer technicians at: Micro$oft, Dell, Circuit City, CompUSA, the Geek Squad, and no one could help at all.
We have also gone to the effort of getting another copy of windows XP and spent the last three days setting it up to dual boot with Windows system on this machine.
MS FS X demo version installs and works fine, but now when we try to install the full version and the installation fails with the error:
Error 1335, the cabinet file 'D2 Feet~ 1.cab required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the cd ROM, or a problem with this package.
Yes, the CD is clean.
Yes, the software installed properly the last nine times on four different computers.
Yes, all of the temporary files have been deleted.
Yes, all antivirus software has been disabled.
Yes all firewalls have been turned off.
Isn't there anyone out there that knows enough about computers that could help?
