When I first installed Flight I got a corrupted install problem. I reinstalled Flight many times and got to run it, but before start-up it says that files Career4.bin and Career7.bin are missing, and the game acts really weirdly.

How do I fix those problems?

I'd uninstall it and reinstall it into a different directory first (or better yet a whole different drive if you have 2 in your system).  You may want to check your drive for errors too - I read your other topic about this and it sounds like you may have something else going on there with that drive.

I don't have a second drive so I can't do that.

I check my drive for errors regularly and it works fine.

OK, now Flight runs fine, but I've got another problem.

The game is asking me for a key, and when I go to get one from the Marketplace, it says I'm too young to make a purchase from there. Which means now there's no way to active LIVE on Flight.

Can anyone get a key for me so I can use it?
