fsx gold edition windows10 going into wrong drive

Recommended Posts

Up until last week I was using fsx gold edition with windows 7.  I now have windows 10 with edge and still fsx gold edition. AS usuual prior I used to have fsx on its own separate drive.

 

Now I have fsx gold edition with the same 3 cd's  for windows 10 but my problems is fsx does not install into the right drive.

 

\My c drive is for the operating systems but refuses to go into my D drive which would be the only drive for fsx.

 

Why am I having this problem ?  My new d drive has over 1,000 Gigabytes, and for the operatingsystem on my c drive has 500 gigabytes.

 

How do I get my same fsx gold edition to go into the new D drive only for fsx.

 

appreciatel any help

Ronny spergel have 3770K processor 780 gtx

 

once again the only thing I did was change the operating system and the 2 new drives c-500gb and d-1,000gb.

When you insert the first disk and it shows where the product will be installed, there should be an "options" button at the bottom.  Click on this and you can select the drive you want.

 

Best regards,

That Error code applies to a problem in activating FSX and/or Acceleration.   The usual fix is given in the link hereunder, though some have still had problems in activating FSX.   In that case, you may have to go the phone activation route (if that is still offered by MS).

Many have been successful using the following solution for this error:

 

1. Goto Start Menu, select 'Run" and then type regedit to open the System Registry Editor

2. Backup your registry.

3. Expand the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\CLASS\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

4. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.

5. Change the value from 0 to PartMgr and/or remove any other settings and then click OK.

6. Close Registry Editor

7. Start FSX/Acceleration and you should get the registration wizard.

 

Best regards,

Jim
