Hi Ben>> Try visiting the message board through your browser and clicking the Check ACARS link (upper right side). <<
When I do that I see an outline of the acars window for about 1 second then it disappears.

I've run VPC_cfg.exe, acars.exe *is* missing from my system but I don't get any option to download and install.

Nope.

How please? I have a Netgear DG814 router which has NAT translation and, behind that, is ZoneAlarm. I've tried the above with ZoneAlarm turned off with no joy. I don't think it's a port problem on the router because I had this before I was ADSL enabled.
