I've installed Flight Simulator Deluxe

Question

I've installed Flight Simulator Deluxe to my new computer - a Dell Inspiron 530s that has all the system requirements for it. However, when I try to access the simulator, it appears to load by indicating that it is updating and generating scenery files - then disappears. When I attempt to reload it, I get a message stating that it is already running. I cannot figure out how to get the simulator displayed even though it is actually running.
