When i start FS2004 a box pops up saying "this version is not compatible this version is build 9.01.40901 and it should be 9.00.30612.
It then Terminates the Programme.
I have re-installed and deleted it several times but it still fails.

Can Anyone Help?????

thanks

Replace FSUIPC with this new one and see if that does it.

Try this: Go to start [XP button on the Desktop screen], click on "All Programs", locate Microsoft Games, click on it, click on the Microsoft Flight Simulator, locate trouble shooting and click on "Restore Defaults". Once that is done try loading the Fltsim again.

I have had the same problem. Using FS2004 for six months, then one day, the same appears on the screen. Tried re setting defaults etc and re loading. Same problem persists.

Remove it completely from your machine and reinstall it.
This will show you how to do a complete cleanup.
