SDK

Ok, Update: I was on the phone with flight link for quite some time, and I got them to send me a different version of Flight Center. Well, it turns out the the Flight Center I had downloaded from (I cannot remember the site) was faulty. So with the new version, I was able to pull up the modules menu and register FSUIPC. I cannot believe I could have saved 15+ hours had I just called the people... At least I learned the 'ins' and 'outs' of FS2004. Thank you very much for you help, Pete. My apologies for making your hectic life all the more. Sincerely, -SDK

You have mail, Pete. Sincerely, SDK

Ok, newest update as of Sunday 8/24: I changed the MainMenu=&Modules - to - MainMenu=&Flight This did not work. So I am assuming that something is keeping FSUIPC from changing the menu. I also unzipped your attachment and placed it into the Module folder. This is what I got from the dir.txt file: Volume in drive C has no label.

Well, LSA Shell is on every computer (i believe). IT is found under your Windows\system32 directory. the file is called lsass.exe and there is a lsass.dll too. Maybe ill see if I can unlock it and try to open the flight sim again. Thanks for the help. I'll keep you updated. Sincerely, SDK *EDIT* Update: I am unable to kill the LSA Shell. You cannot unlock it either using EndItAll. I tried executing the program and nothing happens. I also tried cntrl+alt+delete and ending it that way, but that also did not work... Im all out of ideas and open to any suggestions.

I am unable to kill the LSA Shell because it is "locked" in terms of the killall utility. I also tried deleting it (of course I backed it up first), but the comp wont let me delete it either. I'm really stumped now. I've done everything that was suggested, search many forums (high and low), and it still doesn't work. I'm about ready to send the damn thing back. Sincerely, -SDK

Well, Pete, I did not mean to consume ALL of your time. All I wanted was some help in figuring out why the hell your .dll's wont work with my sim. I have tried the KillAll utility, and ran it. This did not work. But I have a question: Is it possible the the LSA Shell (lsass.exe) is preventing the FSUICP.DLL from properly working? Sincerely, -SDK

How do I run the utility "EndItAll"? By messanger program I mean: AIM, MSN, YAHOO. Some type of real time conversation service. I am very anxious to get this program running. I don't know what else to do. I am at a rut in the road. Sincerely, -SDK

Ok, new status: I am able to access the menubar, but there is no Module selection. I do not run windowblinds, and I HAVE installed the FSUIPC.DLL into the modules folder. I'm not sure what's going on. I would really like to get this system up and running. Pete, do you have anytype of messanger program that I could contact you with? Any help is MUCH appreciated. Sincerely, -SDK

UPDATE: I unistalled FS and reinstalled it, and now I can access the fs menu however, it is not accesable; I cannot open anything, e.g. file, help, tools etc. How do I go about openening those? Sincerely, -SDK

When I hit the ALT button, I do not even get a FS menu. So therefore I cannot bring up the module menu. However, I am not running windowblinds. I did successfully put the FSUIPC.DLL file into the module folder, so the only thing I can think of is that some files were corrupted during the installation. Should I just re-install? Sincerely, -SDK

I am unable to open the module menu using the "ALT" key. Is there some kind of bind in the .cfg file that messed this up? I need to register the FSUIPC so I can use my flight link yoke, rudders, and power quadrant. Any help would be much appreciated! Sincerely, -SDK
