Hi,
Have installed FSX on my new laptop. No shortcut icon appeared on my desktop! and my Program files did not show the link either. Finally I loooked at My Compter and found different Program Files folder marked Progam Files (x86). That is where I found FSX. Have opened the files and FSX.exe file opened the program. This is awkward. Obviously I can put the .exe icon on my desktop, but should not this happen automatically during the install. Also any idea why the program does not show in Start/Program list? FS2004 shows OK? Got Vista Home Premium 64 bits 4 Gh with 9000 Navida. Am I doing something wrong with the FSX install?
Any adv would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peter
