Tukus: I believe you got the answer. When I did download I got a pop-up that had places to check. OPEN or SAVE I do not remember which I did in each try. I think I used open so I could run program. I did try save sometimes...and saved airplanes to desktop. Now as far as spyware. I have Hotmail popper, adaware SE and No Adaware v3.0. I have had them in for several weeks now. Tell you the truth...I dont know all I should about them also. I just installed more memory. Got 512 MB PNY brand..now total of 1 gig I guess. OH, by the way.... the planes never got further than the desktop. Thats another story. Never tought this would be such a nitemare. For the price of the AFPDeluxe and vidio card ....I could have bought a nice small plane with a good used radio. You young fellows out there...forget sims ...get a for real plane with the money. Unless your loaded. I got to find someone close to help me figure out this machine once and for all. Thanks Capt,n
