July 29, 20169 yr This is a strange one. After messing around trying to get AS16 installed properly...suddenly, when starting FSX, I get a "product activation error ERROR CODE: 8-c0000006" which apparently indicates a problem with either FSX or Acceleration. Following advice from another AVSIM forum I started to uninstall Acceleration. I'm not sure if it uninstalled or not. So... I thought I would just re-install Acceleration. Put in my disk (bought and paid for!) but it wasn't recognized by the CD drive. Possible that the disk is damaged. I'm an old retired guy and FS is the only thing that keeps me from going nuts. Would appreciate any help from my FS brothers and sisters.

July 29, 20169 yr This is caused by an issue with the registry. After uninstalling Acceleration, run a registry cleaner like CCleaner or Advanced System Care and try reinstalling. If you decide to uninstall FSX too, I recommend using the PMDG uninstall/reinstall guide - http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx Best regards, Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

July 29, 20169 yr Author Now I can't seem to be able to uninstall Acceleration. I get an error message that says "the specified account already exists." jeff
July 29, 20169 yr Administrators How are you trying to uninstall Acceleration? Are you using Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs?

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
July 29, 20169 yr Author Tried both Control Panel and IO Bit uninstaller from Advanced System Care. BTW just started FSX with FSX Real Wx and everything was fine. I think my problems may be with the recently installed AS16. J
July 30, 20169 yr I think my problems may be with the recently installed AS16. Sounds like it. Did you uninstall AS16 to see if this fixed the problem? If you want I can move your topic to the Active Sky Forum here to see if one of their techs can figure out what went wrong. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!
