Thanks, PaulYou DON'T copy cab files from the FSX disks. You can only use the REPAIR feature and the 'installer' will replace missing or corrupted files. It will likely also overwrite any edited config files so be sure you save all personal and customized stuff to be safe. It will NOT alter any but the default files.After you get it repaired this time, make a backup copy of the default install files so this doesn't happen again.Loyd Hooked since FS4... now flying: FSX Acceleration on Win7/64, Core Duo E8400; GA-EP45-DS3R; GTX 460-768MB; 4G RAM; Freezer 7 Pro
May 31, 201115 yr Author Thanks Loyd,I'm new to FSX, have been a long time user of FS9. FS9 files would expand and were very easy to put back into FS9. Paul
May 31, 201115 yr Moderator Paul, I once needed to get a file that I over wrote with a different version and thought I had backed up the original but couldn't find the back up. Needless to say a repair wouldn't have worked, so what I did was install FSX on another computer and then grabbed the file I needed from that install and then moved it back over to my live FSX install. Granted it was a little more work, but it was the only option I could think of at the time. I supposed you could do the same if you have another computer in your house and then pull and texture files you need from it. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
