I just picked it up today...and am having installation problems....I dont know what to do...
It seems to lockup my whole machine randomly during install (I reset...try again and it locks up at a different point)...My machine should be perfectly able to run the game fine....I just dont know what to do...The only problem that I can see is that I am using Vista Ultimate 64bit....

My machine specs are as follows:
BFG 650i ULTRA motherboard
Antec TRUpower 850watt powersupply
Intel e6750 CPU
4gig Muskin RAM
Vista Ultimate

What could be my issue? anyone have any idea?

sorry I don't know why your having your problem.

But I hope your an avid flight sim guy, because after you finally get it installed I hope your not as dissapointed as I was in the game.

you could try, but i doubt they will take it back...

they might just say we can only give you another copy of the exact game if their was a defective disc or etc.. but only of the same game.

worth a shot though I guess
