    The problem is with Vista's built in DRM nonsense - it sees the '46 DVD as dodgy as it doesn't have the correct gubbins to tell Vista that it's genuine on it. What you need to do is find someone with an XP install, install it on that and then copy the folder onto your machine and it'll run.

    iirc u can copy the cd to a folder on the pc and install from there, then use your fav game copy site and grab the no cd, infact the official ic10? forum has a link to the no cd exe as its a known issue and they started handing it out.

    Hmm, after a quick look around, I can't see it on sale anywhere... Except second hand or private sellers.

    At least you can fly.

    I sort of crash in a heap about 400m from the runway after getting to about 100ft in the air.

    I'm going to get HAWX though for the 360 as I can fly on that

    that's normally a bad patch thing. Used to be when patches were in wrong order. But 1946 only has one update I think.
