FSX Accelaration Windows 7I have FSX installed in C:\Flight Simulator X.I downloaded some sound files that I want to now get rid of, however I cannot remember which they were and of course I did not backup the main sound folder. I thought I would do an FSX repair, however all FSX wants to do is install a fresh copy. Is there a way to point to my Flight Simulator X folder?My next thought is to install it was it wants to, rename it to something else and keep that for fresh file storage? Any thoughts?

Download the registry repair tool from Flight1 and run it.FSX Registry Repair ToolAfter running the tool, you should be able to perfom a repair installation. However, running a repair will only replace missing files. You should always backup your orginals before replacing them with something else.

I have conducted several repairs in the past and it has replaced my fsx.cfg, my scenery.cfg, my dll.xml, etc. Before conducting a repair though, I would rename your fsx.cfg and let it rebuild first as that solves a lot of problems. But if you're trying to get back your default scenery textures, then a repair is in order. Best regards,Jim

Not a bad idea to copy all aircraft to a backup folder somewhere...Cheers,- jahman.

Acceleration was released in October 2007... any sound files that were created or modified later than thatare ones YOU added or replaced. You can find these.

I thought I would do an FSX repair, however all FSX wants to do is install a fresh copy.

With what disk? If Acceleration is installed, the base install disks MAY not recognize it and the registry tool probably wouldn't help if the real problem is VERSION and not LOCATION. You may have to UN-install Acceleration to do a proper repair from the initial install disks; I wouldn't expect the Acceleration (1 disk) to be able to repair something that was originally installed with 2 disks full of essential files.

The installer may not know where FSX is (at the moment) but a new install would give you all original files to use as backup for the next time you forget...might be the best idea.But unless you have a very new install, you may want to save all your personal FSX files: earned rewards, logbook, aircraft hours, controls settings, scenery.cfg - everything fromC:\Users\-username-\Documents\Flight Simulator X FilesC:\Users\-username-\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSXpossibly C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX (this is where my scenery.cfg is)Repair your current install with the files from the new install and only use the new install as backupThe original description was a little vague; you mentioned the main sound folder but were you trying new aircraft sound? If so, I think that the best way to test sound is to name the default sound folder from sound to sound.org and then put the new sounds in a NEWLY created Sound folder. That way you don't overwrite or replace anything; you just reference the new sound folder and see how you like it.Good LuckLoyd

Hey guys, THANK you so much for helping me on this. I wasn't as lost as I thought. I found my disk that I made with fresh fsx files. (Sound, Aircraft, Effects) etc. Things that I change around once in a while and I was able to get things back in order. These other tips are great and I will be saving them!! Thanks again,Jet
