WINDOW 7 INSTALL NOTE Modifying the CFS3.exe comes curtsey of Deadmeat1971. Original instructions can be found here Blacksheep-ghost03 and I have Win7 working in both on and off line sessions but have had to use different means to do so.

These instructions assume that your game is installed on a C: partition Main game folder is located at c: Programfiles Microsoftgames Combat Flight Simulator 3 STEP ONE: Install CFS3. Choose complete install option. Look for and uncheck the option to place short cut on desktop. Follow the instructions to complete the game install. Once done DO NOT choose run game now. Close all windows and go to desktop. If you have a short cut to CFS3.exe on your desktop delete it.

Now browse to your main game folder. Right mouse click on the CFS3.exe and select COPY. Go to desktop and select PASTE. The CFS3.exe should now be on your desk top. Right mouse click on it and select rename. Change the name to CFS3win7. Right mouse click on the CFS3win7.exe and select CUT, browse to your main game folder and select paste.

In the main game folder you should now have two.exe icons. The original one and the new CFS3win7 one. Right mouse click on the CFS3win7.exe and go to properties. Select Compatibility. Put a check mark in the “ run this program in compatibility mode for” and then select Window XP SP3 in the drop down box.

NOTE: This is the only choice that will work. SP2 will not. In privilege level at the bottom select “ run this program as administrator” Click apply. Now right mouse click on the CFS3win7.exe icon and select Send to and Desktop(created shortcut). Close all windows. You should have an icon on the desktop that is named CFS3win7. Go to properties on this and double check that Windows XP SP3 and administrator settings are selected in compatibility.

If they aren’t select them and click OK. Run the game for the first time. If it’s OK then apply the CFS3 patches. Test in multiplayer if required NOTE This method worked on my system but not on Blacksheep-ghost03. For his system he applied step 2 which involves applying the same settings but to the original CFS3.exe Step two If you have installed the game as above and created the new icon and it doesn’t work or won’t fly in multiplayer, delete the CFS3win7 icon from your desktop. Browse to your main game folder and delete the CFS3win7.exe.

You should now have only the original CFS3.exe in the game folder and no icons on your desktop. Right mouse click on the CFS3.exe and follow the same steps as above for compatibility and privilege level. Once done create a shortcut for the CFS3.exe on your desktop.

Check that the compatibility and privilege settings are correct. Run the game. If it works apply the CFS3 patches. Test in multiplayer if required. WINDOWS 7 64 BIT NOTE I have Windows 7 64 bit installed.

It would not run multi player regardless of the steps performed above and would crash to desktop. Event viewer described an MFC70.DLL error. I browsed and found an old Microsoft article that referred to the same type of issue I was having. I followed the recommended fix. Go to main game folder and delete the OLEACC.DLL file.

After doing this my game runs fine and I can host and join multiplayer games. Hope this works for you too. Special thanks to Deadmeat1971 and Blacksheep-ghost03 for their contributions. Hi, I would like to make an adjustment to step two.For Blacksheep-ghost03 to get his to work he had to set compatibility to Windows Vista SP2 first. Fly the game then change it to Windows XP SP3. We deleted his install a couple of times to test and this worked every time. We really never sorted what caused this but he is running an RC candidate and I am running a post release version.

Might have something to do with it So step two should read STEP TWO If you have installed the game as above and created the new icon and it doesn’t work or won’t fly in multiplayer, delete the CFS3win7 icon from your desktop. Browse to your main game folder and delete the CFS3win7.exe. You should now have only the original CFS3.exe in the game folder and no icons on your desktop. Right mouse click on the CFS3.exe go to compatibility and select Windows Vista SP2. Also select run this program as administrator. Once done create a shortcut for the CFS3.exe on your desktop. Go to properties and check that the compatibility and privilege settings are correct.

Try and run the game. It will probably crash. Go to the main game folder CFS3.exe again and change compatibility to Windows XP SP3.

Go to desktop and check your short cut to make sure it is also Windows XP SP3 if its not change it. Fly the game. If it works apply the CFS3 patches. Test in multiplayer if required. Sorry for the mix up but there were so many attempts to get this working I forgot about the vista setting TW.

Sorry for the mix up but there were so many attempts to get this working I forgot about the vista setting TWHeheh i wil have to call you grandnerd form now on grumpy old grandad. Is it worth it? Too true, mate! It's not that Vista and Win7 are so dramatically different in terms of how you use them, but Win7 has been so much better thought out from a user's point of view.

Plus there are the little interface tricks which Vista just doesn't have and make work more productive - windows can be tiled to the left or right halves of the screen with ease, making working between two apps, or Explorer windows a breeze. A quick keystroke pair will restore one window to maximum in a moment, or restore the split layout. One BIG caveat - some of the CFS3 tools will NOT work in Vista/Win7: that.MOS editor which gave you trouble needs XP - don't throw your XP CD away if that's important to you and put it on a separate partition (or HD - I fitted two to my rig). Good choice going for 64-bit, I did the same. Back to the thread topic! Tonight I put CFS3 on my retail Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, patched it to 3.1a, set compatibility to XP SP3, Run as an Administrator and made a separate renamed copy of CFS3.exe with the same compatibility settings. Then I joined a multiplayer game using the renamed version.

No CTD, no aircraft mismatches! Thank you very much, Tailwind and Blacksheep-ghost03! Note: the OFF boys are reporting that OLEACC.DLL needs to be taken out of 32-bit installs as well. Anyone else try this? Back to the thread topic!

I have been to darn busy to try OFF. Plus I only have 64 bit Windows 7 right now. I will keep an eye on the OFF forum for updates On a side note I installed MAW on Win7 64 bit and fired up multi player and spawned in with no CTD. Not a true test as I have not been able to have someone try and join.

But at least no CTD.:ernae: TW. The problem with OLEACC.DLL appears to be one of versions. FS9 had a similar problem reported, which is where Tailwind's answer came from. The file supplied with CFS3 has a date of 2003 and is about 5KB in size. XP's own version in System32 is about 160KB in size, but doesn't seem to clash. The same file in Windows 7 is several hundred KB in size, much more recent, and presumably doesn't live happily alongside the CFS3/FS9 versions. Happily, CFS3 seems to work perfectly well with the Win7 version, so everybody wins.

Headspinning stuff, all we need now is a clearly laid-out guide for anyone to follow. Wonder who might do that.

Yeah, I wonder? LOLOLOLOL Good luck, Hairyspin.:d. OK so I was working on a box today. Standard sort of hardware setup nothing odd Windows 7 Media.

Clean install all patched up and current drivers. I installed CFS3 clean, ran the game and then the updates. Ran the config file. Here is the funny thing. I went to customize the joystick setup. Logitech extreme 3D pro.

I went into controllers in CFS3 and created a new profile. Then I scrolled to zoom out and double clicked on it. I selected button 4. As soon as I did that I lost click function on the mouse.

At first I thought the computer had locked but then I realized that the mouse cursor was moving OK and the video in the back ground was still moving. It would not let me click OK to finish the task I went to task manager and checked and the game was still running OK.

I went back to the setup screen and realized I could use the tab button to highlight the OK option and then hit enter on the keyboard to select. I tried rebooting, changed KB/Mouse from USB to PS2 but the same thing kept happening I ended up configuring the rest of the buttons by using tab and hitting enter I have installed CFS3 on many machines and never run into this before. I thought I would post it in case some one else has this happen and thinks the machine is locked up.:ernae: TW. Its my sworn duty as a United States Marine to wreak havoc and confusion wherever I may roam.

Thank you Sirs! Finally after having the discs for nearly two years I was able to run the game even though I haven't attempted multiplayer yet. Have a couple of minor issues though, namely. 1: Am I supposed to update the engine with CFS3UpdateEng.exe and ACUpdate.exe before making the edits to CFS3.exe (for win 7 64b) or after fixing the compat and admin modes??? 2: I don't have any control panel (quite limiting not having an artificial horizon or other gauges.) or is it an HUD option or somesuch I'm missing? Living in hope. Btw: running 1920x1080 main and 1280x1024 8800gt 512M P35-DS3 e8200 6G 1066RAM IntelG2 80G boot Win7pro64 Regards from down under, Dave.

Hello, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let us know few things to assist you in this regard. Are they getting detected on other Windows Versions? Is that other disk getting detected with the CD/DVD drive on Windows 10? Did you tried restating your PC? If yes for all, then try to use some other PC to extract the game setup file to a USB stick. Once you had setup file on USB stick, then try to install and check if it helps.

If incase of any compatibility issue, then try installing the game in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. A. Right-click on the Game setup file and click on ‘properties’. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 or 7 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.

Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists. Keep us posted how it went. Thank you for your reply. I was able to get the drive to recognize the disks and run the game setup file.

The files were extracted and copied from CD to the hard drive. But now the game WILL NOT RUN. When I double-click the icon, I get asked for permission for 'this app to make changes to your PC'. Whether I click Yes or NO doesn't matter-the game will not load or display. Yes, I have re-started the computer and the problem persists. I have also run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter numerous times and it can't get the game to load or display either. There has ti be a way to work around this.any other ideas?

Thanks again. I don't use CFS so don't know what the contents are in your CFS folder. Where is this folder located?

In Program Files (x86)? Can you see an executable file (.exe); may look like CFS.exe? If so, right click on it - then click on Properties - then Compatibility - tick Disable display scaling. And also tick Run this Program as Administrator. Apply, OK and close all boxes. Will CFS start by clicking on the icon? If not, will it start by double-clicking on the.exe file in your CFS Folder?

If not, go back to the Compatibility Tab and then go to Compatibility mode. Tick run this program in compatibility mode for. (the version that you used to run it correctly). Apply, OK and close all boxes. Any joy with starting CFS? The only other suggestion if CFS is still not starting, is to temporarily disable your antivirus/anti-malware programs, and try starting CFS via the icon or the.exe file. Remember to enable your a/virus, etc afterwards.

This game uses SECDRV.sys which MS has all of a sudden deemed a security risk. Win10 used DRM blocking and is playing dictatorial Big Brother by not allowing people to make their own determination as to if they want to continue taking the 'risk' they have been taking for many years without any problems. Note that MS as subverted Win7/8/8.1 users with Security Updates that do the same thing, without notifying them.

Of course these old DRM were pretty useless from the start and there are noCD fixes/hacks for most games that used them. You could overwrite the original, but keeping it as a backup is good to. Make a new folder and move the original cfs2.exe to that folder. Extract the fix and move it to the location the original cfs2.exe was in - DRM blocking is so subversive it even leaves Windows confused.

Windows does not seem to know what DRM blocking is, as it posts errors suggesting to ' run as admin' or ' troubleshoot compatibility'. Why does Windows not just post a message saying something like? 'You are no longer allowed to run this game, by order of all powerful Monopoly$oft'. I don't know why you would be having to run the game with min resolution. I'm not having any issues with CFS2 ( still running the same game I installed to Win7 years ago).

I just tried the game with hardware acceleration, in the games settings enabled and disabled and was able to use a 1920x1080 resolution with both options. I did have to use those compatibility settings when I first installed Win10, but after the 1511 update the games that required 'disable DPI' in particular no longer require compatibility settings. Are you using a laptop or desktop with an early integrated graphics, such as the GMA series?.
