Pete, Man, you are good! Everything seems to be working ok now. I discovered that the technicians did not reset the date and time as you suspected. Why I didn't check when I got the system back from repairs, I don't know, but that seems to have been the catalyst. I reset the date and time (It was set at January 2002) to the current setting and started FS and AFCAD. The crosshair was present after I registered the product. Thank you for your time and energy. I really appreciate it. Regards, John

Pete, looks like you were right. The red crosshair does show up when the FSUIPC is unregistered. I sent the key in a zip file file to the address you provided. What's next? John

Hi Pete, When I first purchased FSUIPC, I lived in a different Cable zone (Cablevision), Since then I've moved to a different city and cable zone (Comcast), hence the difference in the email address. I had a computer crash about a year and a half ago and had to re-register FSUIPC. I saved the key on a floopy for safe keeping. This current meltdown, I didn't have to re-register. The About window said it was still a registered copy to me. I have no idea what the technicians at the shop may have done or looked at while they had it. I will follow your instructions and send the key following this reply. Thanks . John

Hi Peter - Finally got around to registering at the forum. It took a serious problem to do it. I'll get right to it. I had a meltdown with my system and had to get it repaired. Strictly a hardware problem. However, since I've had the system fixed, I noticed that I can't get the red crosshair to show up in the AFCAD window. All was working just fine before the meltdown. The technicians say the only software they added were the drivers for the hardware they had to replace. (They didn't look to see what else I had on the system? I'll take that with a grain of salt.). So I'm asking what your take is on this situation and what do you think I could do to correct it. I installed the latest version (3.85 for FS2004) and that did not correct the situation. As a scenery designer, I need to see the location of the aircraft in AFCAD. I hope you can help. Regards, John B. Loney, Jr. (jbloney) jbloney@comcast.net www.lfssd.net
