Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 Not Working Windows 10

I installed Flight Simulator 2004 on my new laptop, running Windows 10. However the program does not open if CD4 is in the drive (or not), not even if I try 'Open as administrator'. I installed the 'nocd' fix downloaded from Flyawaysimulations, but still no success. Please help: what must I do to use Flight Simulator 2004 with Windows 10??? Windows 10 was released by Microsoft in 2015, and was rapidly taken up. I had no problems at all running FS2004 under Windows 10.

I checked on the acer website today. My laptop is 4 years old and the downloads for the model only go up to win 7 which came on my laptop.Someone posted this on another website but I cannot find what they have posted. I could not see the preview as it says.See below:Try this it worked for me in Windows 10 Pro, go to your settings, then display, find in the display Preview DirectX 10, Enable it, i looked in previous games and found that windows 10 disables it for some reason, re-enabling it again fixed my issue in FSX, should help in FS2004, i used to get the Black screen and Blank Aircraft preview and the above fix fixed it for me, but the only way you can get ingame is to alt-Tab out and tab back in. Just downloaded the no cd application from your website and it worked.This was from advice on the microsoft community.The main menu is intact and chosen aircraft is visible.Only problems are when exiting a flight the screen goes black and I have to hit (alt) and (enter) to go back to main menu.The flight window has the menu bar at the top which has to be changed in the view tab to full screen.I have not checked all aircraft but did have an error with sound files on the harrier II plus. Can't get rid of menu bar with this aircraft also.Others seem OK for nowWill let you know if I find any more niggles.

My beloved FS2004 has run perfectly, even with a Shackleton and WW2 fighter add-ons,for years. Now that I have 'upgraded' by purchasing Windows 10, it does not work. My very old Combat Flight Simulator WW2, my Combat Flight Simulator 3 and my FSX with five WW2 add-ons still work perfectly.

All I get when trying to run the FS2004 program is 'Please login with administrator privileges and try again'. I have tried all the compatibility possibilities with no success. I am certain that I am not alone in this situation. Anonymous wrote:My beloved FS2004 has run perfectly, even with a Shackleton and WW2 fighter add-ons,for years.

I have recently been able to get a copy of CFS 2. It installs fine, but when clicking to play, I get the message: 'Please login with administrator privileges and try again.' The screen then goes blank. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do to get this baby running? Kind regards from John Beck in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.I know that this is a long thread but see if it helps.Check this first. As many fellow simmers have done, I have updated from Win7 to Win10. Everything worked normally for a while.

At a time I started having problems when flying online (I would not see other aircraft). As the re-installation of the Squawkbox did not work, I decided to re-install FS9. And here starts my problem.

I have uninstalled FS9 and then proceeded with the installation from the disks. As to apply the NOCD patch we would have first to install the FS9.1 update, I did so. And here comes the problem: the update tells me something as: 'It seems that FS9.1 is already installed, so no action is taken'. The problem is that, when running FS9, in the About box I still read FS9.0. What should I do? Any suggestions?Regards,Domingos. Some helpful hints I compiled:To my delight, I got FS 2004 working successfully on my new Windows 10 laptop and would like to help those who are contemplating about going to W 10.

GO FOR IT!My new HP laptop has good capacities, better than the rigs available 10 years ago, but it is not a powerful horse. It has Windows 10 Home 64 with 16GB DDR4 memory, i7-6500U processor and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX card (2GB DDR3). (Note that I am using FS 2004 for over 10 years and have collected number of add-on airports and sceneries, also many aircraft (both AI and flyable). Many of my airports were modified using ADE and many AI flight plans created using the amazing T-Tools.

Therefore, my original 2.69GB plain FS 2004 now has 36GB capacity.I had this FS running great on Vista Laptop with 2. GB memory, T9400 Intel processor and 512 MG NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT.)So, having mentioned all this, these are few points relating to the FS 2004 running on W10, also some of my experience leading to the successful install:Prerequisites:.First and most important under the assumption that your FS runs OK on your old PC. Copy your ENTIRE FS2004 folder from your old PC onto a separate hard drive!

To copy my 36GB takes close to two hours!.Second have the four original installation CD discs available!.Finally, have your new W10 PC Note that I have no experience with installing FS2004 on the old rigs upgraded to W10! (Judging from the chat rooms there might be some issues with these)Step by step procedure to install FS2004 on the new W10 PC:.Load the four CD discs using either built in or external CD drive (I got a warning message from Microsoft – unknown origin (strange) – so have O.K.d the install. Install it (custom!) to your own folder on C drive, NOT to the Program Files, which I thing is a default.

I named my folder FS2004.Answer NO at the end of install to run the FS, instead remove No 4 CD.Update the FS to v9.1. The update is available for the download in below link. It is an easy install placing the program file to your new FS folder and running it.Get No CD Patch from below download. Again, an easy install to replace the fs9.exe file by the new downloaded file.Run FS (no need for the disc 4 installed, you got the patch!) and you find out that there is no aircraft preview in the opening screen just black field.

It does not bother me because I can see and select the aircraft I want to fly in the drop-down. But if you want, hit ALT and ENTER and the aircraft picture appears. Test FS for basic functionality, take a quick flight with Cessna or similar.This is a good practice! Copy the entire contents of your newly installed FS folder to a back-up hard drive.

(You can call it RAW FS9). It should have 2.69GB, so should not take long to copy. It is good to have the original files available!Now to bring you newly created FS in W10 to the standard of your FS from your former PC. Hook up to your W10 PC your external drive where you backed-up your FS folder. Delete all files from the following folders in your newly installed FS folder in your W10 PC, and copy in the corresponding files from your back-up hard drive into:1.Addon Scenery folder, if you added or modified the scenery.2.Aircraft folder, if you added or modified aircraft.3.Effects folder, if you added or modified effects.4.Gauges folder, if you added or modified gauges.5.Modules folder, if you added or modified modules.6.Scenery sub-folders folders (Afri, Asia, Aust, Eure, Eurw, Namc, Name, Namw, Ocen). This may not be necessary unless you modified some airport files or added flattens in your original FS.

If you know where, just replace these files in given folders.7.Scenery/World/Scenery folder. This is where your traffic files and altitude corrections are.8.Sound folder, if you modified, added sounds or used Edit Voice pack.9.Texture folder, if you modified or added textures.10.Replace Scenery.cfg file in the main FS folder with the original back-up file! Sounds like a scenery issue of the default flight. If you can identify it (the scenery) of the default flight, de-activate it. You can deactivate it manually before starting FS by opening the scenery.cfg file (in your main FS folder).

Open the file in notepad and you will se the sceneries listed there. Looks something like this:Area.053Title=HondumeshLocal=Addon SceneryHondumeshRemote=Active=TRUERequired=FALSELayer=53Hypothetically!!

If this would be the scenery you need to deactivate. Delete the whole entry in the notepad. BUT then renumber the following sceneries with the follow-up numbers for Area and Layer. So that the numbers run consecutively.Then try to start FS again. If it was the scenery issue, it should work.Good luck.

I don't know how to fix it, how do I even start?Find the shallow end of the pool and wade in.Seriously, you can start by reading and studying the thread that slipperman referred to. ALL 14 pages., then try to apply some of the answers to your specific situation. After all MSTS is only a program, it can be uninstalled if you make a mistake.You'll make some mistakes, you'll learn.

When you have questions about something, post here and provide all the details you can think of, that will help others determine the best solution for you.Believe me, you really cleanly cleared the hurdle by simply posting something that was readable. Good for you! I don't know how to fix it, how do I even start?First, you have to understand that Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) was written for Windows 98 and 2000, and was released in 2001. Microsoft gave it a little support for the first couple of years, then stopped.

They let others re-release it later as $10 or $20 software (it was actually only $30 when first released), but eventually shut everything down including their whole game operation (including Flight Simulator, though the final 'X' version of that is still supported by other sources for professional use). So you're dealing with 15-year-old software that was a bit flaky to start with, and was never intended to be installed let alone used in a computer running anything beyond XP.Many of us have contributed our experiences over the years regarding the tweaks necessary to get MSTS to run in modern Windows - you can't just install it and use it, like modern software. If you ask Microsoft, and it turns up in their software lists at all, it's in a big NOT COMPATIBLE listing, but if you read the instructions in the stickies here and at the STEAM4ME web site, and follow them very carefully understanding what Windows wants and how to get around it, you can run MSTS in Windows 10, or 8, or 7. If you DON'T read and understand those threads and articles, you won't get it to work. Sorry.The workaround if all you want to do is run trains is to use some other train simulator. There are several commercial ones that are currently maintained and work well in modern Windows.

Open Rails also works in modern Windows, and is free and open source, but it's a work in progress that's good but by no means perfect. Open Rails has the benefit of being able to use the scenery and trainset assets of MSTS. But if you want to do more than run trains with it you will have to get MSTS to work because several necessary editors are only available as part of MSTS.Start by reading the Win10 sticky linked above. Also, look at:Basic Installation Instructions for Windows 7 (Windows 10 is similar):Steam4Me instructions page:If you have a AMD video card or chip and use Windows 8 or 10, a driver patch is needed:Oh yes, and read this on how to ask for help and information that's needed:None of us here are paid to provide technical support, and most of us would rather be running trains or creating scenery or running trains or making trains or doing whatever else life provides the opportunity for. So you have to take a little responsibility and attempt to follow the instructions.

If you don't know enough about how the computer works, you'll have to learn that too. In a way, making MSTS work is a form of hacking, but it's not (yet, anyway) illegal - unless you got a copy illegally.Last edited by mikeebb; at 12:01 AM.
