My father has this installed and it wont run, after starting a mission it says that it couldn't find some file. My question is where is the OFF file supposed to reside? CFS is in C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/CFS but OFF is installed in C:/. It seems to me that this is wrong but I don't know the program can anyone here with a Win7 install tell me if this is right?

Yes, and again and again and sometimes it works though weirdly like a Dr.I when you pick a Sop.Pup

Well I guess it's a moot point now he was re-installing it for about the umpteenth time and the disc exploded in the drive,

Sounds like a faulty disk, especially if then exploded!
When you have a working disk you need to carefully follow all the correct install procedures, and settings for Win7 (on our FAQ page) (starting near the top).
If you are "Joe" then we are already talking to you in support - if not contact support please with your order number and we'll help (See FAQ).

Yes, Joe is my Dad, and he told me that your support was prompt and helpful - much better than the other title he bought, some pro pilot sim which I won't go into.

Haven't been over in a day or two, he said you sent him a DL of 3 zipped files but they are all the same file (?) I'm not sure about that but it was only good for 24 hrs so maybe we'll just wait on the disc. He has a lot of anti-anti-virus going on his PC so who knows, I'll have to get over there to see what it is he's Downloading but I got a chuckle when he told me that some correspondence said if he had a problem let his son do it,  Too many companies out there selling people on needing a bunch of protection software till the only thing that will run is the anti-virus.

KRT, once you and your dad got it installed okay, and you get another similar problem
sometime later, then you must NOT automatically de-install the whole OFF plus CFS3.
Go to "Workshops" then and try this button first:
"Reset OFF Manager"
If it still won't work, try (only then) also "Reset CFS3"
These two have saved me two or three times from the whole deinst./reinst. proceedure.
