Resolution

When you start RealFlight, you receive a message or dialog box requesting a CD-ROM. If you insert the CD-ROM, yet dialog box does not go away, then you may need to do one or both of the following:

• Edit the FILEREAD.INI in the c:\program files\realflight directory. Click the Windows Start button, and then select the Programs button. Click on Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer click on the letter of the drive which represents the hard drive where the RealFlight files are located. Please note the Windows Explorer application may be located under the Programs button. If not, please highlight the Accessories button.

• It is also possible that Auto-play is disabled for the CD-ROM drive. Try enabling the Auto-play feature. To do so, click the Start button followed by the Settings options and then click the Control Panel.  Open the System Control Panel.  Choose Properties on your CD-Rom drive in the Device Manager.  Make sure Auto insert notification is checked.
