I have had issues where my CD drive has vanished from "My Computer", a simple restart sorts that out, failing that, put it back in the other drive and then go to My Computer, double click the drive, then when the window comes up double click on the exe file which should be labelled something like "FSX", this will also be a small icon file, then install from there

:edited: mate sorry, I meant to say a "simple restart" not "re-install"

-Red Baron
Hi
While I was still using Windows 98, I purchased a flight sim called Red Baron, it was a brilliant sim but when I moved up to Windows XP it refused to work.I believe it to be American but remastered in UK by "Sold Out". Is there anything that can be done?
