Hey steve :
Here is what the problem is
I got the fms flight sim from a recent purchase of a Futaba radio(toms rc)
I downloaded it and got the same reply everyone else gets when tring to set this sim on VISTA.(d3dll not installed)
I went to the website the i was directed to go to in this forum (cant rember who posted the link) (vista problems forum)
I read the link and it read "this is the link you are looking for fms flight sim"
so i downloaded the d3dll file,but it also said that i should purchase the EXPRESS ZIP to unzip the file. The page said that my unzipping program might not work correctly.
At first i tried to unzip with windows unzip progrm and it said it had corrupt files could not be extracted (forgive me im not up on all the nomenclature)
Then I purchased the EXPRESS ZIP program tried to un zip using there step by step process and stilL got the same ERROR message CAN NOT EXTRACT THE FILES THEY ARE CORRUPT
Then out of anger i posted on this site for help!
I then went to a computer help site and was informed that my PC was corrupted and i needed to Reinstall to the factory settings and that is what i have been doing for the last twenty hours.(one painstakingly hour after houra)
Steve your point is well taken and if you asked how to weld the thingy on the whatchamacallit?
I would say LET ME SHOW YOU HOW
Anyway I am almost done reloading all my files and will be ready to reinstall my FMS tommorrow night.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanx for the reply
I cant help it IM old school and this PC is cool but complicated because its smatter than I AM
THANX AGAIN
