Hi,
I bought my G-2 second hand and I had to get an authorization code but I was unable to get it from the manufacturer so I contacted the seller and they contacted the manufacturer and released it over to me and then I was able to completly down load the soft ware, and check for up grades on line.
Maybe I was of some help to you.
Happy Holidays, If you think I may be of some help, I will be watching this thread [sm=bananahead.gif]

I get the same when I install on Windows XP. I have trouble loading RF as well till I got down path what it takes to do it (in my case anyway). I always have to do the following for a complete reload :

Note: This is for XP Professional only as that what I have.

1) Install my original RealFlight Deluxe CD (AND DON'T RUN THE PROGRAM !)
2) Install RealFlight G2 (I think I had to follow a KB article on the RealFlight web site to get it to install although it may not be necessary now)
3) Go register the my copy again
4) Download the latest updates
5) Install my add-on CD's (1,2,3)
6) Adjust the graphics settings as needed

I have learned through time to install G2 on another drive besides C:. That way, if I reload Windows or the software, I do not loose my planes, settings, etc., etc.. Course, you could back them up as well if you are running on C: and restore if needed.

HTH,

CJ

It can be frustrating and I am glad you got it worked out ! KnifeEdge will realize that they are not the only player in town any more...I just hope they have customers when they do ! It is still the best IMHO, but the competition in gaining on them...
