Hi
Could you post your system specs?
Could you also check whether your DVD-drive is able to display other media e.g. insert a music CD to check whether your PC can see the music files?

 

[sLippd]

I don't know how to check my specs so I did dxidag and gave you the first two pages? Isin't that good enough

I tried
PCDVD: FS2004 and Airbus Collection
PCCD: NHL 06
Nothing worked when I did this the ROM did not read the discs

Ok.
Understood however it takes me a long time to download files. I'm gonna do that now.
Will get back to you shortly - have you tried what I suggested on the DVD drive?
BTW - Welcome to Seven Forums

Do other DVDs work in your drive? If yes ...
Can you explore your FSX DVD? If no, then your media sounds like it's bad. Contact the company and see if you can swap media.

Sorry was posting the same time as you did.
Do you have access to another PC where you could try if the DVD is indeed working?
Based on what you stated above, you may need a new DVD-drive.

Regards

If you cannot view files/run the install program on another computer, then I suspect your media is bad. See if the company will give you a replacement.

 

[sLippd]

Confirmed the game works on my other computer

Maybe it's better to ask for the serial number:

Might check your Windows Updates for today:

Application Compatibility Update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: August 2010

I had a problem getting Flight Sim X installed on my housemates computer, but can't remember the details. Give us some more details if you can and maybe something will ring a bell.
