June 25, 20169 yr Author Thanks Poppet - i have deleted all except libraries/documents which I could not find and still the fault remains - FSX offers to repair or uninstall but to install. re the hidden folders - I can see them but still don`t know how (or if) to delete them. IUnless someone can offer another solution to try it looks as though I may have to reinstall Windows 10 to get a clean pc but that really is the last hope raffer should read "but NOT to install"
June 25, 20169 yr raffer - Tell it to repair. You should get a full install even if there are a few "leftovers". - Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.
