Pete,
You're correct on all accounts.
I found the Squawk Box key in the sticky section, and that was the first email in the thread.
What I meant to say was I have the MODULES menu problem discussed int he FSUIPC user guide...it causes MSFS2k to lock up when I try to enter my key. Actually, before I can try to enter the key, it locks up if I select FSUIPC from the MODULES menu. I tried to de-select HIDE MENU BAR by right clicking on an "outside"(?) window, but right-clicking doesn't do anything.
I read in your guide:
======================
FSUIPC menu access problem on FS2000
It appears that there is a problem with FS2000 (only) sometimes crashing if the FSUIPC menu entry is
opened. I have managed to reproduce this, but the problem is somewhere so deep within FS2002’s many
layers that I have not been able to solve it.
However, a reliable work-around has been found and verified. Before trying to go into FSUIPC’s options,
right-click on the outside view and uncheck the “Hide Menu” entry. This will allow you to get into the
FSUIPC option pages. Do not try to move the window around—that seems to also make FS2000 unstable.
After exiting the FSUIPC options you can safely re-enable the “hide Menu” option.
===============
but I'm not sure what an "outside view" is. I tried working a chase ship view or something, but not sure what right-clicking is supposed to do. If I right-click the cockpit or chase ship view, the HID MENU BAR is not selected.
The FSUIPC log shows:

If I cannot enter the FSUIPC menu in the MODULES menu bar, how can I enter the SquawkBox key?
