September 6, 201015 yr I formatted the Hard Drive - installed FSX - installed SP1 - installed SP2 all of which were reporeted as successful installations.However, when I initially clicked on the FSX icon, the various "set up" and "loading" messages appeared but then the Splash Screenjust sat there. I have tried rebooting and retrying to open but I just get the splash screen and no action.Checked the Task Manager which shows FSX "not responding"I have checked in Regedit and FSX is there with the correct path.I have FS9 installed on another Hard Drive and that is working just fineMany thanksGeorge

September 6, 201015 yr Commercial Member I believe most recommend that you should start up FSX and perhaps even take a short flight between each installation segment - rather than install FSX, and the service packs sequentially without doing a "test" startup and/or flight in between.Someone once said that you need to start FSX between service packs to complete some initializations. The most important is to complete the registration process after the initial install. I use the default flight to test the progress of the build after each install including addons.jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
September 6, 201015 yr Yes, one should run FSX after initial install to generate the FSX.CFG file and maybe others which are used by SPs and Acceleration.
