Flight Simulator 2002 Professional

The instructional movies haven't worked for my FS 2002 every since I bought a new computer with Windows Vista and loaded the game on it. I get the audio, but no movie. It worked fine in Xp. Everything else about the game seems to work fine with Vista (so far!). I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike, welcome to TSF

It sounds like you don't have the correct video codec installed in Vista. Download and install the K-Lite Codec Pack, reboot and try the videos again. Which media player are you using to view the files?

Thanks for the welcome, and the info. I did download and install the K-Lite Codec Pack (the full install), and rebooted, but it still does the same thing. I "think" I am using Windows Media Player for the videos, but with Vista, I'm not sure! I know it keeps wanting to make i-tunes my default media player, but I keep saying, "no, I want Windows Media Player." But sometimes I go back into things and see i-tunes is back again!
