Reinstall NGX on new drive with Copy / Paste

[tomfalcon 0]

Hello all,

 

I used to have FSX installed on my C drive with NGX installed and working perfectly.

 

I re-installed FSX on a new specific drive but could not get access to the NGX installers due to PMDG download policy (I lost the original NGX installers I got on purchase because the drive, on which the installers were saved, collapsed....).

 

I tried to copy and paste all NGX files from C drive to the new drive where FSX is installed.

 

The aircraft seems to be working except that I miss all the gauges indications : it looks like a problem of fonts.

 

Could somebody please confirm the Copy / Paste method I used can work ?

 

If the answer is yes, what did I miss to have these birds fully working again ?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Best Regards

whats windows o/s  your  using  might help  to solve your problem on the font issues,  since if  your using  win xp  download  win xp sp3

 

Dont  think you  can copy just the files from the ngx folders and move  them around, you need to copy  the installer  again to install it  to  your new drive  some  one  can  prove me  wrong hopefully  for  your  sake.

Actually, my OS is Win7.

 

I will have a look in the fonts folder....

 

Thank you

I'm pretty sure you screwed up the activation licensing (whatever you call it) thing. Send a ticket to PMDG Support (http://support.precisionmanuals.com/) and they'll be able to help you.

 

By the way, back up your installers to any downloaded product to a CD, flash drive, or external hardisk. That way, you'll always have a copy of the installer if things go pearshaped with your computer.
