Win8pro, FSX, G.Pv3

[nichos]

I am sorry to keep harking about this but, although GPv2 works OK in FSX & w8, the v3 not connecting  is baging me as to where I go wrong.

1. In both FSX & GPv3 I right clicked their .exe files & ticked in properties- compatibilities- Run as Administartor.

2. In the Compatibility Tab win8 is not mentioned, it only goes  up to w7. Tried it with no result.

3. FSX has sp1 & 2.

4. I load the same FSX Plans .pln in FSX & G.Pv3.

5. FSUIPC4 I use in FS9 here is not needed

Clicking on the blue Connect button flashes but nothing happens, also buttons Lock, Synch & Free are grayed & do not respond.

Now I am getting this error below in P-G v 2 when I click on the Connect button.

I deleted all traces of FSUIPC from the system.

Fl.Plans .pln are same on both.

Does that give any clues as to why now I lost P-Gv2 connection as well as the v.3?

SOLVED

Both v2 & v3 connect now.

I am dual booting XP & W8, with FSX installed on both.

P-Gv2 was installed in the XP MS-Games & when I installed P-Gv3 it went in the W8 MS-Games.

So, with the shortcut for booting FSX was from the XP installation & the one for P-Gv3 from the W8.

Consequently they could not see each other to connect.

Now by booting both FSX & P-Gv3 from the W8 installations they connect.
