Peter
Thanks for the swift reply and help.
Sorry about the etc, etc bit but the full text is "This copy is unregistered. It wil not provide full functionality".
Bit confused here. You say VATSIM uses free access yet I get the above warning?
Also, Peter, below is a copy from the .LOG file. I cannot understand it fully so could you advise please where the I look for the unauthorised GAUGE section to identify it?
