  1. PETE No, I do not have simconnect problems yet with Windows 7. After I had Windows 7 set up and FSX installed, I wanted to know if the problem was fixed. I found the simconnects and tried to delete them. No luck. This problem also extends to other programs, not just FSX. Yesterday in Vista 64, I installed Ultimate Defrag which says it is compatible with Vista. It would not work with Vista 64. So, I used Ultimate Defrag's own uninstaller. Things did not go well and it did not fully uninstall. I tried to delete the left over entries and got the same results as trying to delete simconnects. So the problem lies with UAC in Vista 64 and Windows 7 64. I hope the problem gets fixed since removing programs is going to leave a lot of trash on our hard drives. Jerry
  2. I have never moved my documents folder. It is still located under user---. My problem with simconnect corruption has always started when FSX does not want to run properly. If I remember right, one time it just would not start. The other two times, I don't remember. In all three times, I tried repair with no luck so I removed and replaced. That was when I found out that FSUIPC did not work. The simconnects were then corrupted. They probably were already corrupted. At any rate, remove and replace did not remove or repair them. This has happened several times with WIN XP, but they can manually be removed and then reinstalled with FSX. Pete, I have been using the Windows 7 beta for about a week or more. The first thing that I tried was removing the simconnects and they do not come out. I then sent my report to Microsoft but I do not think I will ever get a reply. Hope you all have a nice day Jerry
  3. It looks like our problems with simconnect will continue. With the closure of Aces Studios MSFSX will have no support. That explains why the Microsoft Representative never had an answer. Even though we believe that it is a Vista problem and not an FSX problem, it is will not be corrected. There is still format and rebuild, unless someone else has a better answer. Jerry
  4. Pete Thanks for the reply. As usual I did not make myself clear enough. Microsoft rep wants to know if I am the only person that has this problem or if you have many complaints, besides me. The rep thinks that I am an isolated problem and I need to show him that many users of Vista, FSX, and FSUIPC have had problems. Can y ou help? Jerry
  5. I have used your suggestions in FSX HELP to no avail and elevated privileges do not help. I am now working with my third party vendor of the Vista 64 Program. His suggestions do not work either. He is now prepared to work with Microsoft on the problem. After a review of your forum, it seems that I am the only person who cannot remove the simconnects. Do you know of any others with the same problems and if so, was a solution found. Thank you for your time. Jerry
  6. Thanx Pete and Jim I think what I have is good. I no longer have problems in FSX or FSUIPC4 for font size. Only on the desktop. I have a NVIDIA GeForce Video Card 6200 and I have the latest driver installed. My computer is built from obsolete but new parts from eBay. With that in mind, it runs very well. I appreciate your help. Jerry
  7. Thanx Pete Because of my old eyes, I had my fonts set to 150%. Reducing them to 125% corrected the problem, but now it is hard to read what is on the monitor.
  8. HI Pete When I open FSUIPC4 using FSX and Windows XP the window is about 1/4 inch to small on the right side which prevents seeing the last word of instructions and also some of the fill in blocks. What do I need to do Thank you
