This should help.

Thanks for the information I finally got it to open and will try running it now.
The information got me to the sight but it maybe needs updated I could not get it to do any downloads and I tried to join but the screen would not allow me to pay but I finally got to the free no cd download and it worked.
Thanks Sterk03
Glad to hear that it worked out well.
Fly and enjoy!

glad to see that
