For what it is worth,I have 9 and X installed on different discs. I have installed and uninstalled X several times without getting into trouble. FS9 is still the best to stick with and anyhow,I have spent a fortune buying a fleet can`t turn them out to grass for a long time yet. Best wishes to all, Alan
