Firehawk, I did a full system recovery overnight . This mourning FSX was successfuly installed following the PMDG Guidelines. Like you suggested the sim was installed in my ( C ) Drive under C:/ FSX. I will now proceed with the installation of my addons in the external hard drive. I'm asuming they will find the FSX Folder on their own. Thank you so much for your help and support. Dan

Yes.  Once you get FSX installed, your addon programs will look in the system registry to see where FSX is located and install them.  Sad you have to go through a full reinstall again but think it's the best method.  You might also download and run a program that scans your system and looks for updated drivers.  It's freeware for that to happen.  If you want the program to download and install the updates, then you'll have to pay a small fee to register the product.  If you are good at searching Google, you can Google (or use Bing) to search for the updated driver and download and install it yourself.  But at least it will show you what drivers are out of date.  USB port drivers are constantly being updated as they try to improve this technology.

 

Best regards,
