Hi Pete Ok with your constant assistance I finally figured out the "fix"... I remember changing the folder permissions to add my name not just in Admins but also my name directly and gave myself full permissions. This was because I edit a number of files from time to time and it is just easier in Vista to do this. SO - I removed my name and remained as Admin so there was no issue there then I deleted the modules folder and reinstalled FSUIPC 4.53 using ADMIN rights. Then tested and it worked. Then I closed FSX and copied FSUIPC dll 4.558 and tested and it worked. 1. I am part of admins 2. removed my "individual name from User names under the Security Tab 3. Removed Modules Folder completely 4. Reinstalled - right click > Run As Administrator 5. Inserted my keys and it worked. I know you said no need for 3, 4 and 5 but i did it anyway LOL I did this twice - 1st was as above, second same BUT left the keys out. Then just copied the key file and it worked. Now, strangely enough I did this ALL Over again and excluded 3, 4 and 5 and it worked again but prior did not show registered until i installed FSUIPC using Admin rights. The great thing though is that it works and for the whole day, almost (sun is still out LOL), you assisted either here or via email! Thanks again! Sean [a VERY happy cust-simmer ;) ]

Hi Pete Check your email. I won't post any info here yet - perhaps leave that to you to do in a better way :) OR shot and i shall post. Sean

Perfect. Thanks Pete for the assistance. Chat via email for now.

Hi Pete Nope didn't work. I am installing and using in the same user name.

OK Pete I'll try that right now.

Well it is basically a very fresh Vista 64 install. I have used it before and went back to XP to test spanning in FSX. However, all i have are printer drivers, NVidia drivers (Latest), sound drivers (creative), Nero 7, fsx, air hauler. Would it help to reinstall FSX? Completely delete the folder?

Here is the info from 4.53 and 4.558: The message regarding the Admin Mode was 4.53...

Hi Pete I will add the log below but in response - the Unregistered message shows when I goto Add Ons and open FSUIPC then it shows me the version, after copying the DLL, for 4.558 once installed, and shows this version but says this is unregistered and to please use the installer to register. When i Do this it is 100% and closes. Then i start FSX and it remains Unregistered though the Log says registration is fine. On the same not, if i don't start FSX with Admin rights in the same dialogue where the buttons are to register via installer it says, just above the buttons, that it will need Admin to be able to register and run - sorry don't have exact wording but along those lines. I tried 4.23 that I found sometime ago and reinstalled Vista 64 on Tuesday. Then I installed Air Hauler which I believe updated this to 4.50 and then I decided I needed to now buy this as it is core to my cockpit. So i installed 4.53 and then copied the DLL. I must say that I tried MANY ways, 4.23, 4.50, then 4.53 then DLL and in no matter what order I would always have the same issue - saying not registered. I can forward my Email from SimMarket if necessary. I am currently re-installing Acceleration to "repair" and see. I also deleted it as trusted from the FSX.CFG file but did not help.

Hi Pete I am a little perplexed at the moment: I installed 4.53 and entered my serial numbers and started FSX. I got a message saying to register i need to start in Admin approval which i did. So, now, regardless of how i start it the message is that it is verion 4.558 but it is unregistered. How do i fix that?? Thanks in advance.

AH many thanks Peter. I didn't see it there last night hence the message OR i was blind as a bat at the time ;)

Hi Peter I was reading through your posts and I saw the one where it mentions goodies etc and I noticed that there is a version 4.558 that containts fixes. I just purchased this about an hour ago :) Thanks!! and I was reading up on some stuff. Is 4.558 available? Thanks in advance.
