• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Re: Win-Vista and Win-7 (any edition)

Just Got this information..Beware All!! From one of our flight sim brothers..

First to Owen:
If you would please, start a thread on the SOH Forum Re: Win-Vista and Win-7 (any edition).
Seems that from several OS forums I visited lately, Microsoft now considers anything dated past 2009 as Malware, and has inoculated the Registry against any registering of any .dll files, et al, back beyond that date.
If you can, let your SOH Buds know that any M$ Updates dated back around June 2012, will have in them some hidden Malicious Malware file Removers.
These will say, like "Security Update for Windows Program Files (64) or Program Files (x86). These are Registry Killers, among other fun stuff !!
These will corrupt any and all registry files dated before 2009, and prevent the Registry from accepting these .dll or other files from loading into the registry.
WARNING: Do Not Allow Any M$ Updates for your Win-XP, Win-Vista, or Win-7 OS dated after June 2012. Period !!

Be Warned..
 
I put a tin foil hat on my cpu before I ran the last couple XP updates and so-far (fingers crossed) my FS9 seems to be working ok.
 
XP-64 was just updated this morning and everything seems to be running fine.
 
My fully updated Win 7 allowed a reinstall of FS9 yesterday. Patching to 9.1 worked fine too(*.dlls are now v9.1)...Don
