I used to (and still do) play computer games.  I remember playing this flight simulator game as a kid on Windows 3.x which I totally loved.  I used to think about playing it at school and couldn't wait to get home just so I could sit my arse down and shoot down attacking cat-alien beings.  Anyways, I installed some poker game one day and it apparently copied over some newer .dll's that my beloved flight sim needed and everything broke.  That stunk.  Well, side by side seems to be a solution to this - just allow multiple versions
