Are you saying you can't access documents and settings folders or that you can't access Flight Simulator config file?

I nedd to have unrestricted acces to the Documents and Settings file in order to go to User\my name\roving and access FSX.CFG This is the Flightsim 10 configf file. If I cannot tweak it for amxium frame rates the game is unplayble and vista comes off!

Try this

go to explorer - C Drive - Users - User Name - AppData - Roaming - Application Folder - FSX. CFG

or

open explorer - in the search tab paste fsx.cfg. Right click on the file and open it in notepad. Make your changes and click save

Cathy, don't be embarrassed. It what we are here for. There are no stupid questions, just some that are easy to answer. If you think I helped give my rep a nudge, that's all

Merry Christmas

G'Day Norm, it's a tad off subject but,

To New Zealanders, Norm, the following are points of Geographical Interest;

New Zealand; is collectively made up of the following islands;

The South Island; A land mass of many mountains, myriad lakes, many trout and salmon fishing rivers, large plains and not many people. The larger of the two main islands. Commonly known as 'The Mainland' - hence Mainland Cheese. Traditionally, an early Maori Chief - Maui, hooked and landed the other large island from this island. It has the appearance of a stingray and is called the North Island.

The North Island; A land mass of some volcanic mountains, a couple of lakes [old volcanic craters], one trout river, swampy plains and many, many people. Commonly known as 'Pig Island'. Auckland is home to a tribe of peoples known as 'Jaffas'.

Stewart Island; A triangular island at the base of the Mainland, performing similar functions to those performed by Tasmania, and Tasmanians. An over-abundance of oysters in the Strait separating the island from the Mainland, may have some bearing on the strange personal habits of the few inhabitants.

The Chatham Islands; A very small group of islands directly east of Canterbury on the Mainland. Extremely exposed to southern ocean blasts, rare trees grow flat to the ground, as do the few local inhabitants. Claimed that original peace-loving indigenous Polynesian people fell prey to Mainland Maori, and a great feast was had by all.

The Auckland Islands; The bleakest place on Earth. Small islands way south of the Mainland and home to Seals, Penguins, Skuas and some mad Scientists.

West Island; A large continental land mass to the west of New Zealand and considered largely uninhabitable by many. About 400,000 New Zealanders live there, but most go 'home' for Christmas, across 'The Dutch' [trans; 'The Ditch'] or as it is more commonly known - The Tasman Sea. 'Kiwis' form a large portion of the migrant population of West Island, and are the constant source of mirth to the local 'Oz-Bodz' for their fondness of their 'ovine brothers and sisters', and their mispronounciation of 'fush'n'chups' and 'sux' [trans; fish and chips and six]. They are however, far superior Rugby Union, Rugby League and Curling players.

Welcome to the forums Cathy. Are you still in NZ?

Welcome to the Vista Forums CathyH, where an admission that you're an ex Kiwi will not be held against you. :rolleyes:

Whenever you have a Vista question or problem, just find a similar thread or create your own, to post your problem. There is always someone who is willing to advise and help. I have found that a click on 'Archive' at the bottom of the page is often a good lead-in about where to post.

Can I also suggest that you take a couple of minutes to read two important posts by Dwarf. The first one here is for your own information, and privacy protection;

:geek:

http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/199125-personal-information.html

The second post refers to the information you submit under 'My System Specs'. Do this once, and it saves you repeating the same info over and over again, if the situation needs. It also helps anyone trying to assist you, if they can see the system that you are using. Help others to help you. That post is here;

:geek:

http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/199241-hardware-information.html

Just for fun, take a look at Dwarf's System Specs, and then at my pathetic lot....you'll get an idea of what this is all about.

In the meantime, I'm sure that you will find being part of this 'Mob', a very educational, pleasant and rewarding experience.

Cheers. sassofalco
