Hello.

My computer just got back out of repair. New motherboard and graphics cards. And since its a new year, I wanted to reinstall FSX. Once I got all my addons uninstalled, it was time to remove the actual game. But when I ran the uninstaller from Programs, it wanted me to put in Disk 1. I did, and it gave me an error message and quit. And same thing with all the disks, when I put them in the drive, the computer would detect they are there, but wouldn't run the FSX install on the DVD's, a few min. later, it would tell me FSX DVD Check has failed.

I have a Win8 64bit. system, hope anyone can help.

 

Thankyou!

-I hope I put this under the right category, there are a lot and none of them label FSX install.-

Right click the .exe for installing FSX (on the DVD) and select Run as Administrator.  When the screen options come up select remove.  You should get a repair or a remove option.  Windows 8 just has too many quirks.  That's why Microsoft is already working on Windows 9 as not too many people bought it.  About everything you do now has to be ran as an Administrator.

 

Best regards,

Thank you very much Jim. I'm doing that now.

Okay, so when I double-click the disks to run them, nothing happens for a while. And when I open to the files on the disk, Windows crashes.

Will installing it on my laptop, then transferring it to my desktop via hard drive, will it work?

:Peace:

There is no Run as Admin.
