Hi Airnav thanx for all the hard work, I got a couple of problems and a couple of remedy`s for some problems others have posted.My problem no alerts work at all also notification does not work, im running Vista sp2 core 2 duo 2.66 with 4 Gb ram, the failure to start also happened to me, I found that right clicking the icon and clicking run as administrator did the trick for me,after this just normal left click starts the programme every time. I also had the navy blue background after esc from full screen,I got round this by going to windows/restore desktop this brought me right back to the screen I was using. By the way i`ve got network flight`s turned off (wish this was default). Regards Lou
