I know I'm late to the party - having just purchased 600/700 AND 800/900 package. Is there a forum just for beginners? I'd hate to bother all the experienced folks with basic questions on installation....

There's no stupid questions here, and lots of help available but you should sign your full name to your posts in this forum.PS: Make sure you first read the manuals, many answers are to be found there.

I believe that I AM signing my full name to this post, but I will enter it at the bottom anyway.Now, as to the question; in order to install the PMDG 737NG package, I found that I have to do that in "Safe Mode."I have tried that and while the install worked, it placed eveything in the root directory, which appears NOT to be the right place.I have now uninstalled and would like to re-install (again, using Safe Mode),but I'd like to know the directory name toward which I should point the installer.Is it "Microsoft Games" or "FS9" or what? I'll figure out the path , just please let me know the target directory name. Thanks in advance for any help.Richard A Schwed

What do you mean by safe mode? You should install as you would any other program. I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling.

Yep, looks like it's there to me, haha. Your fine with it in your sig the way you have it. It's the same as Dan's. No need to enter it twice. Perhaps your sig wasn't showing when he replied. Then again, Dan makes that comment so often, perhaps it is like a Pre-Sig comment for him ;)

What do you mean by safe mode? You should install as you would any other program. I would recommend uninstalling and reinstallI mean Windows XP's "Safe Mode." There have been several posts over the last few years where folks have NOT been able to install the PMDG 737NG package normally. The installer gets hung up while trying to copy various font files (i.e., .ttf files). The solution for these folks -and me - was to install using "Safe Mode". This is a documented feature of Windows. It works, but you have to point the installer at a specific directory and I am trying to find out which one.

Richard,How did you acquire the NG installers? The issue you're describing occurred with a very old version of the installers and was fixed over two years ago for new purchasers. I don't see anyone with the name Schwed in our customer database - could you PM me your order number?
