I would try uninstalling it and then re installing it. Sometime that helps.

Flight Simulator X will work with windows 7

Since you bought the legal version, you can always claim for a replacement or the guys will give you another key for your game.

Probably it's because you don't have the minimun requesites that the game requires...

Hey,
You have to buy the game to get the activation code. If you bought a CD, then the activation code will be on the back cover of the CD.
Thanks

To check the joystick isn't the problem, go into control panel game controls, then check that the joystick appears and you can move the cross-hair around on screen, most modern joysticks are
auto-calibrating, but you could try running the calibration.

To check the game isn't a problem, unplug the joystick, then use the arrow keys to fly the plane, if it doesn't crash when you bank then it isn't the game.

I assume the game is Combat Flight Simulator 3, as very old games that were written for Windows 95,98,ME series often won't run on Windows NT,2000,XP,Vista as they are completely different versions of Windows. If this is actually Flight Simulator 3, you may need to consider buying a later version of Flight Simulator (FSX is the latest version, but may not run on your laptop).

Other things to try are updating the graphics card driver.

Norton shouldn't need deactivating, although it could cause problems if you're playing online.

Also remember that laptop graphics cards are never as powerful as desktop graphics, and games very rarely specifically support laptop graphics.

Hope this helps.

Your disk is bad.i had the same problem.Then i bought a new disk.
