Pete, You were right! once I got my own reg key and put it in...BAM it worked. thanks again

I already went ahead and paid for my own key anyway. Once I get it I'll check it out and hopefully it will solve the problem and wasn't a waste of money. thanks again for your advice

well, if you are sure that it's his key that is no good, then I guess I'll reregister it myself. But I don't feel comfortable giving his info without his permission.

Besides, if it says it's registered and working then why would the key be an issue? thanks

I actually bought the FS2004 from somebody else and he gave me a CD with the other software on it, including the FSUIPC. With it was the reg info. I don't know where he got it from. I assume he registered it himself ?!?

Hi Pete, Thanks for the help. Elite is a manufacturer of controls and software for flight simulation. They have their own FS but also write this program so that their controls can be used with Mircosoft's FS. I took your advice and removed the FSUIPC.Key file and ran FS. This time the Elite tab returned but my cotrols wouldn't work still obviously, since FSUIPC now showed an unregistered program. And I don't believe it's due to FS9.1 Update either, since I noticed the same behavior in FS2002, so it must have something to do with FSUIPC (and Elite). This version of Elite is the latest and it is supposed to work with the 3.47 version of FSUIPC according to their readme file. thanks again.

Hi, I just registered FSUIPC and simultaneously updated FS9 to 9.1. Now I am not seeing the Elite Tab anymore and nothing (panel, avionics, rudder) works . I tried reinstalling the Elite driver but it doesn't do any good. I even get the error message once in a while that "either Elite FS needs FSUIPC version 2.9x or later or FSUIPC is not running" even though I see the FSUIPC tab in FS9 and it shows that it is a registered 3.47 version. I am not sure if it is due to the 9.1 update or something to do with the new versions of FSUIPC and Elite. My version of FS2004 is newly installed with no addon stuff, except the NO CD4 patch version of FS9.exe (which was placed after the 9.1 update) thanks for any help in advance FS2004 -Version 9.1 (updated version) Elite Pro Panel, Rudders, AP-3000 (All Serial) FSUIPC 3.47 (Registered) Elite driver (latest version)
