I purchased this back last fall when released. It crashed constantly. I
put it on the shelf until today.

I loaded it on my Notebook with Vista Ult. I then added the latest SP from
Microsoft. The program disappeared form the Start menu. The only way to
start it is to browse to the program folder and create a shortcut. Anyone
else have this problem?

I'm tempted to uninstall and reinstall, but not sure if I can activate it
again.

It isn't listed under the Start Menu, this is "by design", a number of
different games from different manufacturers have been doing this lately and
are only listed under the Games Explorer. Highly annoying. But you can
create a shortcut from there and place it in the Start Menu.

You can activate it again and again and again.. If you bought it and don't
mind making a free call you can activate hundreds of times. Activation is
not a problem for a legit owner of the program. End of story.
 
Thanks Paul. Yes, while the other MS games are in the start menu, FS is
under the Games Explorer. Very strange feature.
