Since it has been a few years, I dug up the venerable RASP program from www.rocketryfiles.com. I installed the wRASP32 version on my 64-bit Win7 machine (after a few installation complaints about out of date .dll files and such), and it seems to be working fine.
I love the simplicity. Inputs: rocket mass, diameter, Cd, motor, and basic environment conditions. No building a rocket needed. All the simulation results are neatly placed on one window when you click Launch. Included are max values, delays, graphs everything I need.
Nice features include helpful warnings, various Optimal Mass scenarios, a Good Motor filter (somebody was asking for this in OR in another thread), and the ability to input your own Cd vs. Mach curve.
Anyway, an oldie but still a goodie for quick flight simulations.
