Default FSX won't START!


Hey guys i need your help! I have reinstalled fsx for like the 5th time
now on my newly rebuilt computer. I have built it myself and it is an
amazing gaming computer, but when i want to play fsx, i install and when
i pop the cd in, it does nothing, there is a loading thing on my mouse
for like 2 seconds, then nothing happens, when i first installed the
game i got a splash screen for like 10 minutes then it just went away!
Anyway i really need your help guys, THANKS!

System:
INTEL motherboard
EVGA 8800 GTS SSC
4 gigs g skill ram
500 gig hard drive
2.7 core 2 duo cpu
Microsoft Windows Vista

Autoplay might not be set to run. Can you start FSX by going to Start
Games FSX? If so, then it installed fine and everything is fine on that
end.

FSX does not need the DVD inserted on my machine for it to run. I went to
the games folder and created a quick launch icon, and use that to launch the
game.

It sounds like you covered all the bases except for updating the OS,
drivers, and BIOS. Also run the Check Disk utility. A very remote
possibility is that your disk is too badly fragmented to run. The early
nVidia drivers didn't perform the way the updated drivers do, though I never
remember it not running at all. Your specs look real good.

yea man thanks, bios shouldn't be an issue since its a new intel
motherboard and all drivers are up to date, im gunna try to do the disk
utility thing ,but I don't think it should be an issue since the game
installed perfectly off the cd

Have you tried running it as Administrator to see if that works?
