On the Toolbar at the top of FSX, I cannot get the TOOLS tab to come up.

I am trying to use the Object Placement Tool, I went into the dll.xml, and activated it, but tools doesnt show up.

I have FSX Acceleration, Accel. SDK installed, and Object Placement tool Activated... what do i do?

maybe its admin rights or something else its stopping it ,but im lost aswell any help would save the day

op system specs
win 7 64bit
8 gig ram
1 gig card gpu
Amd phenom x6 1055t cpu

gmax was funny too with exporting a model ,example if i set the admin rights to open gmax it wont see the gmax file i made but will open any other file i made before yesterday , if i open without admin rights in gmax it shows up the gmax file but with a lock on it and im unable to change permissions even though im the owner, the saves from this file always save with a lock on it so i cant import it into full permissions gmax {no fix } and one model unable to do anything with..
{ always run gmax with admin rights set }


library creator had the same problem it would not open any mdl saying they where invalid{ the fix is set compatibly admin rights }
