I installed FSX on my desktop but it does not work. My Pc is a Gateway FX530XT.

The program works on my laptop , Gateway NX 860 XL.

I have tried all that Gateway and Microsoft suggested, but with no luck.

Has any one experienced such a problem with FSX.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Have you tried changing graphics drivers?

Did FSX install from both discs o.k.?
Have you also installed the FSX Service Pack 1? It does the following:


Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1

Aspiring aviators can now prepare to fly higher and faster, as Microsoft Game Studios is happy to announce that the first service pack for the AIAS award-winning Flight Simulator X is now available. Service Pack 1 will:

• Provide a 20 to 50 percent performance increase
• Optimize for multi-core CPUs and improve draw times for faster loading
• Address multiplayer and backwards compatibility issues
• Offer improved realism of key geographical locations, landmarks and airports

You can get it at this link:

Flight Simulator X Service Pack 1

Finally, is FSX icon showing as installed in the "Games" link on your start page and have you tried to load from this?(ensure disc 1 is in DVD drive) If not try it!!

I did this but it did not help

Installed the latest, but did not help

installed the service pack but the problem still exists,

Have you tried re-installing the game?
