    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Installed fine but need to activate. But when the activation window tries to come up, I get this error message 1-80004005 as shown.

Looking for a solution.

EDIT: The Registry fixes suggested internet wide did not do the trick, but Uninstalling completely and Re-installing worked.

Thanks

Hey Milton, good to see you on here but sorry for the circumstances. Take a look at the linked thread below. I was having problems with loading acceleration causing activation errors. Don’t know if it fits your situation but might be worth a look. Wellis provided this fix. Wish I could be of more help.

OOPS! Didn’t see your edit. Glad you got it sorted. Sorry about the repeated reply above. Don’t know what happened.

Hey Duckie; good to se you too.

Yes, corrected by Uninstalling the original installation. Fortunately, the uninstall only deletes the original install stuff, not my added goodies. Had a backup anyhow JIC.

Yes, the old "PartMgr" trick was tried but did not work for me; it was the old install that was confusing things.

The Registry fixes suggested internet wide (PartMgr) did not do the trick, but Uninstalling completely and Re-installing worked.

Thanks
