Like I wrote before I hate giving microsoft any more of my money but,
there
must be some other flightsims out there that will run ok on my O/S

Oh, the shame of it. Having to use software that you actually *paid* for.

Most of us, you know, chose NOT to use things we can't afford, rather than
stealing them.

If you hate giving Microsoft money so much, stop using their products.
It's
simple. There are good alternatives, from operating systems to flight
simulators.

Ok Fair enough.........do you have any examples?

And what gave you the idea I was stealing, A friend gave me a XP Pro
Corporate disk to try out, It is intended to be used on more than one
computer. He and I simply didn't realise that the VLK was no longer valid
and I could not upgrade to the SP2. Oh well! still doesn't change my mind
about Microsoft products, I have many things that I paid for and felt that
my money was well spent, just not anything from Microsoft.
