But the Flight Simulator will run for 30 days, and then whole system will need wiped again, and everything re installed.
If you ever want to make a tailored install iso with all drivers, updates, and programs pre-installed let me know...
WTH? Is this a DEMO? OR is the software so deprecated that it will not accept registration? This is WHY I love playonlinux and the debugger, with persistence, I am able to get most old games working in wine.
Edit: Varing versions of the software have been reported to work on WineHQ which tells me persistence is key. Try some of the suggestions in each case to see if you get profit.
There is another option you could try... ReactOS Maybe your game will run on that?
Did you look on their forums? Maybe there is a solve. There have been times I had freezing when installing distributions and they would give a solution on their message boards.
