Hi All,

I have been working on this problem for a couple of weeks now and could really use some expert advice.

 

About a month ago I had to admit to myself that the operation on my FSX flight Sim was getting a bit to funky to get straight with small "patch it together fixes being every other day---so after a few days of hand wringing and contemplation I decided to the deal and trash my entire four year old last new installation of FSX and start from scratch BUT!!!---not so fast, said my computer!

 

After my install I found that as I tried the install new sceneries I was running into bit problems--they would not install--ORBX sceneries had all sorts of issues ( I attributed these to ORBX but I am b=ginning to think that the problems might be with remnants of FSX being left around on my computer .

 

I have now done at least six full un-installs and reinstalls of FSX and still cannot load My ORBX Scenery--MY Traffic X would not work--Ultimate Traffic would not work after I gave up on My Traffic---My Mega Scenery does work--My PMDG Planes will install---so some things work and others do not.

 

I am going to do another full un-install of FSX and need advice about important issues related to getting out any and all parts of FSX that might be giving me less the a true clean install of FSX.

By the way, all the add-on programs are always done from clean and fresh downloads of those programs ---this is why I fear that something is going wrong with my "New FSX Installations".

I offer thanks to anyone who might be able to shed light on this sort of problem.

 

Cheers and all the best!

My only thought, not that i think its goin to help much..

 

But are you installing fsx as admin,(right click the fsx exe and select run as admin - same for the installer exe's for addon stuff) AND outside of program files?? ex: c:\fsx?

 

Take a look in ''Appdata'' file, inside theres a file ''local'' and ''roaming''..there may be stuff left in there to do with fsx. there could also be stuff lying around in your regestry, but i dont know enough about that to advise in any way, i can tell you to run ''regedit'' in order to open the registry, but if any changes are made here make sure you know what your doing.

I am going to do another full un-install of FSX and need advice about important issues related to getting out any and all parts of FSX that might be giving me less the a true clean install of FSX.

 

If you are going to go through the messy world of uninstalling and reinstalling fsx, I would follow this guide - http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx.

 

Best regards,
