September 2, 20196 yr A driver for what exactly? For a SATA drive, Windows 10 has native support, so not needed, unlke Windows XP.

September 3, 20196 yr Seems to me that you have a cable or drive problem. Leave drive 3 out of the system and run it for a while. Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.

Some drives are very sensitive to slight marks or dirt on the disk. If the disk is clean, it could be a problem with your CR-ROM drive. Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disk or see if you can get a USB CD-ROM drive to try. New drives (internal or external) are very inexpensive now if you need to replace the drive. If all else fails, get the Steam edition of FSX (equivalent to the Gold boxed edition - Deluxe + Acceleration) which is better and easier to install than the disk version. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
September 21, 20196 yr Sorry, my last post must have originated from another planet. Yes, make sure disc 3 is clean. What kind of trouble did it give you? Did it finally install, or did you give up on it? In any event, nothing should have happened that would make you need to reinstall Windows. By blue screen, do you mean the Windows stop screen? Affectionately known as BSOD. If so there should have been a stop code that might tell us what the problem is. After you reinstall Windows, does it run OK before you try to install FSX? If not, what source are you using to reinstall. You might need to use a version from Microsoft, rather than a version from your built-in Windows.
