February 1, 201115 yr Hello all,I have a new problem with FS9 now, a CTD on Startup. Here is a link to my previous problem, which was never resolved:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/322995-atc-problem-again/page__p__1910908__fromsearch__1#entry1910908Since nobody had any other ideas on how to fix that problem, I decided to try an uninstall/re-install of FS9, thinking that it would install whatever I was missing and all would be well. Big mistake!! I ran the un-install, which was successful. Then, I ran the install, which was also completed successfully. Now, I can't get into FS9. Not knowing what to do, I came here and found the following: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/323943-fs9-crashes-during-startup/. One of the posts here advised that I visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837195 and follow all the steps. I did that, and none of them worked. I had the most problems with the first one, regarding the 9.1 Update. I am not sure that I un-installed it well enough, and when I went to re-install (with a fresh copy downloaded from the Internet) I get the following message: "Update Type Error 34" with a box marked "OK" to click on. After clicking on the "OK" box, it tells me that the "9.1Update could not be successfully installed." And, then it closes. When I try to un-install the Update again, it tells me that it cannot find a file called "unpatch.bat" which is supposed to be located in the BACKUP folder in the main FS9 Folder. Locating that folder, I looked inside and there is no file called "unpatch.bat". I have tried removing the BACKUP folder as suggested in another post, but that did not work.So, how do I remedy the 9.1Update problem? And, how do I get into FS9?Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks very much,Houndog528
February 1, 201115 yr I believe the root of your problem likely lies in an "incomplete" un-install.This file might be useful:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=123907
