Hi 

I have gone to reinstall FSX Acceleration onto my Windows 10 desktop after a clean install of Windows and I cannot activate it. Everything seems to install correctly but when I start up FSX I get an error message that FSX Acceleration could not be activated. I also get timed out after 30 minutes of flight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The following is generally used to fix activation issues with FSX and/or Acceleration.   However, it hasn't worked for all, but worth a try:

    1. Close FSX and run Registry Editor (press Windows key + R and type   regedit    and     Ok)
    2. Expand the following registry key:            

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}      

    1. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.
    2. Delete any value there and type in   PartMgr  (note, this is case sensitive;  type it as shown here) and click OK.  

    5. Close Registry Editor and reboot Computer.

    1. Start FSX and check whether the Activation box comes up.   If so, re-insert your Product Key.  Hope this helps you.
