Paul, you're not allowed to give up!
We'll get you sorted somehow, hang in there and keep us posted. We all have varying computer skills, and what's second nature to some, is quantum physics to another.
Deep breath, go again.

Not sure if I'm on the right track, but if you are using W10 then I think there is a fix for FS9 but need to go into the H_KEY bit; Part Mgr. - or is that only for FSX? A search in FlightSim I think will give you an answer.
Good luck I've had to do it on my W10 laptop, & I use W8.1 on my desktop.

Morning Dev One. I'm on W7 actually. This is a refurbished Dell I'm using so as I've never had this issue before I'm suspecting therein lies the problem.

Then I suggest its possibly a Windows update problem - I will have to get back to you after I've done a bit of research to find the KB number.

Edit: Have googled 'windows update problem with fs2004' - up came this:
http://calclassic.proboards.com/thread/ ... start-read
Within which Tom Gibson listed KB3086255 as being the problem. I had to stop it downloading & installing every update session. Its something to do with registering I think.
Hope that helps

You will need to install the FS9.1 patch- it puts a lot more into the base FS9 e.g. bridges along the Thames, plus other glitch fixes.
You might need to get the correct NoCD patch to go with FS9.1 too.
