    Hi Jacob,

    This has been a error that has come up for some FS9 users. It is an error about 'secdrv' in their Event Logs.  So, I'm unsure whether this is what is causing you to not be able to load FS9, but if you want to try it, go for it.   FS9 no longer works since its disk #4 has a form of security that Microsoft no longer considers valid.   To get around this, do the following:

    1.   Update FS9 to FS9.1 (if you haven't done so previously) and you can get the update from:  

    https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/2795/flight-simulator-2004-update-v91/

    1.   Then download the FS9 No CD patch which allows FS9 to start without disk #4 to be inserted into the drive.   You can get this patch from:

    https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/15244/microsoft-flight-simulator-2004-v91-no-cd-patch/

    Once installed, try to load the Sim.   Hope this fix will help in your situation/predicament.

    Also, depending on your Graphics Card/driver version, FS9 (as with FSX) may give some problems running in full screen mode (i.e. it will run but not all features can be used).  You may need to Alt + Enter to switch to windowed mode and back again, if required.

    Chris
