You know what - so are we. I suggest you learn how to post a) in proper
English sentences that actually make sense and b) so somebody actually
understands what you're on about...

You write vague statements extremely well..

"I have a problem with a program that when i try to load it .... "

We all have a program "that when i try to load it...." .. can you guess
which program caused me a problem recently?

"... i get a dialogue box that says something like this is a internet
resource and is not available....."

Something like?.. so it could have said INTERNAL maybe?.. the contents of an
error message will determine how to fix it.. if you report the error message
in a changed form, ho do you expect to get the correct fix?..

The saga of the mystery program that may or may not have reported the fault
as originally shown continues..

"it tries to install it but it is already installed and i have it on the
desktop...i am baffled."

This is the first chance that we have to give some advice, so here goes..
try uninstalling through ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, and then re-install the
mystery program.. if for some reason that doesn't work, we really don't know
what you are going to do as you seem unwilling to give a good overview of
the problem..

You have a problem with "a program" when you try to load it - in that you
get a dialog box that says "something like" this is an internet resource and
is not available and then "it" tries to install but "it" is already
installed and you have "it" on the desktop.

Sounds like "it" is not compatible with Windows XP. Without further
information on "it" ("a program") and the exact message in the dialog box
(if it goes away too quickly to read - please look in your event log for
more detail), then it is unlikely anyone will be able to help you beyond
general statements like:

- Uninstall "it" and reboot. Reinstall "it" and check for any updates on
the web page of the creators of "it".
- Check the support web pages for "it" and search for the message you
received in the dialog box. Try to be more specific when searching their
knowledge base, as they may not have "something like" searches. *grin*

At this point, you are not the only one who is "baffled". Remember - if we
could see your screen, you've already been hacked.

Regardless of how well you write, or how rude Miss PT is, the
point remains that you've told us almost nothing about your
problem. You need to be very specific to get help. What program?
What is the error message, verbatim? And so on. The more you can
tell us, the more likely we can help.

Lots of folks here will be happy to try to help you, but you have
to help us to help you by giving us something to work with..

I suggested add/remove programs as a first step because there was nothing
else to work on..

Beginners are not necessarily expected to be 'au fait' with the jargon, but
programs names are not in that category.. I can imagine a Mac user having a
problem with 'the program' and others knowing instantly what 'the program'
is, there not being too many programs available for that platform (%age
compared to Windows), but in a Windows scenario, 'the program' can be any
one of thousands..

Have you tried Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator.. you don't have to wait
for passengers to load.. or take prisoners <eg>

Hi Mike,
Great...I thought I thanked everyone that helped me but I will thank you
too...yes, as a matter of fact i do have CFS 3 and it is another good
program...i am retired military (Air Force) Viet Nam and Desert Storm 1 so
you can see i have a keen interest in simulators...On top of that my father
(now deceased) was a pilot for Pan Am..Anyway I won't bore you with that and
just give you a thanks instead

CFS 3 is a later version, and although scenery was improved and one or two
airplanes were added, the original Combat Flight Simulator is accredited
with being the best.. I have CFS Europe, and get hours of fun out of it.. I
doubt that I am as good a flyer as you, but the freedom of 3D in a shoot'em
up is just too much.. :) .. I also like the original Comanche helicopter
game.. simple controls and again, super fun.. unfortunately, it doesn't like
XP are all.. oh well.. tally ho.. we're going in..

Mike,
Does not matter how good you are as long as you are having fun!!!! Sounds
like you are though and that is great. How is CFS Europe? Is the game play
good? How about the frame rate?
