[costlyspider]

Hello I have a copy of real flight g4 I bought about 2 years ago,now I have it on an older computer but I want to move it to my new computer. The problem is evey time I go to install it it just comes up with a compatibilty issue. It says the progam didnt install, try with compatibilty mode. I do that but still nothing happens. I would really like to move real flight to this computer but im not if i can.
anyhelp would be apprciated


intel i5 quad core 650 @ 3.20 ghz



Thanks for your time

Should work. Are you trying to install it in admin mode? Also, are your DEP settings too tight? You may want to call tech support tomorrow.

I dont no what dep settings even are so not sure if they to right or not . Still nothing updated my video drivers but that didnt help. Now auto run asks for permisson to install it i say yes, and it just goes away nothing happens. Guess im just stuck playing it on old machine.

Are you logged in as the local administrator?

Have you turned off DEP in the control panel?

After several attempts I managed to install G4 on a new laptop with Windows 7. I can start the RealFilght Launcher. When I click on Run RealFlight the program banner flashes then dissappears and nothing happens.

I upgraded to G4.5 thinking that there might be Windows 7 support in that version. The same thing happens. I know that the laptop hardware/software is capable of running RealFlight. I downloaded and installed the G5 demo. It works with no problem.

Any suggestions for a fix?

Admin privileges?

It's not Win7 keeping you from running RF. It's something else. Maybe Data Execution Prevention, or an overly aggressive security software. RF runs on my Win7 machine.

I don't know what Opjose's quote has to do with your question, but if you figure out how to get it to work, post your method!

Sure if you run Windows under Mandriva using VMWare.

But that would slow Realflight down, so you are better off just dual booting.
