I had asked about getting a Great Planes simulator G3 to boot. I called customer support and they had me go to start, all programs, select windows update. I had some problems, but eventually got it to work. It took about and hour. Then, I put in the discs, and it booted up. I got my flight simulator back. Thanks for everyones suggestions and help. It turned out that two of you were on the money. Thanks.
