Originally I was using REX textures, but I thought I'd give the HDE v2 textures a try today. After I installed them as per the readme, in FS I'm just getting crappy default textures again. So I thought screw it, I'll just go back to REX. I closed everything, opened REX and reinstalled those textures, but then after booting up FS9 again, I'm still getting default textures! :( Why?

 

Even when I look in my FS9/Texture folder, all the right stuff appears to be there.

 

Update: Okay, I actually backed up my original texture folder before I installed HDE, so I restored that, but now when I load up a flight, once it gets to 77% ("loading weather") I get a CTD. Every time. So it's gotta be something other than the texture folder.

OK, I got it working again with the rex textures. It took a system restore though.
