Windows Vista and Sims

[KFX400jim]

I have a new computer with windows Vista loaded. I have FMS and Realflight G2 and neither will run. Anyone have any suggestions? Is anyone else having these problems?

You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or allow?............Allow. :D

Yet another binary turd brought to you by the makers of Microsoft.

Sorry, man. I don't want to sound like a jerk. It's unfortunate that there are so many problems each time Microsoft needs another cash-cow. Best of luck with your issues. I have no experience with Vista yet. I'm sure I'll be getting the calls soon. I'm the neighborhod computer guru. :(

It's a DLL problem. It's missing D3DRM.DLL.
I found it searching but have no idea how to install it. Any suggestions?

Hit the download link on this page and wait for it to extract. Unzip it into the proper folder and maybe everything will be fixed. It's a file associated with DirectX. I think it goes into your system folder if I'm not mistaken.

Correction, it's in the c:\windows\system32 folder in my machine with XP.

Well, I put in the system file and it worked. Thanks for the help!

Glad to help! It's usually not that simple. I'm glad yours was! Have fun with the sim! :D

Well, the FMS is working but not the G2. I'll figure that out later. At least I can fly while I wait to get my Sceadu in the air!
