| Guest | FSX install A clean install of Vista Ultimate. The only application installed was AVG Anti Virus. Installed FSX and there is no icon in Start > All Programs. I then try to install a 3rd party app and it tells me that there is no registry entry for FSX. I was able to install FSUIPC4. Flight simulator DOES run. Weird. Any ideas? -- ...Chip.. |

| Guest | Re: FSX install It is in there. I guess I expected there to be a Microsoft Games directly off the start menu like it is on my other computer and with ever other install I have done of this program. Now to find out why this 3rd party app says there is no registry entry for FSX. Thanks. -- ...Chip..

| Guest | Re: FSX install Keep in mind that Microsofts official "new" way of doing things is to have NO program menu entries at all for games. The only way you know the game is installed is to look in the Games Explorer and to see any options you right-click on the icon. Expect to see a lot of new games start adopting this paradigm. On a personal note, since the startmenu is now crippled and difficult to use, I suppose its the best system. IMHO Forcing all the menus and items into a small scrolling list is a giant step backward...and expecting me to type in the name of the app every time so it can "find" it quickly is preposterous.
