Trouble here is really that the HD may be dying- it makes revving sounds while the comp is on here. the screen also sometimes goes all lines in the midst of working on stuff here, and interrupts attempts to install or remove and repair stuff here.Tried to reduce the workload by buying a USB connected HD, but i am told it wont work with PMDG product, tho it did run the regular FSX ok with less sophisticated add on aircraft tried- POSKY etc. Maybe I just need to scrap old HD and wait to buy a new one when money permits????BTW features such as top of screen task bar/hide task bar not showing as useable was grayed out too.ThanksDR

PMDG reinstalled, when you go to fly it, it shuts down FSXAny ideas folks???Thanks DR

FYI- the task bar on screen was not showing for any aircraft there. the PMDG aircraft wernt tried, since they havent been reinstalled.ThanksDR

Tried to reinstall, was told it would not reinstall need to get support to reissue ticket to help it recognize my info.thanks DR

Reinstallation of FSX successful, but certain things dont show- for instance you cant get the hide task bar at top of screen- the cursor arrow is black when seen, and also the aircraft appears to sometimes only appear back gradually after switching views, rather than being instantly showing when spot view selection returns.Also- the aircraft folder was saved, but when opening game after reinstallation, only half as many aircraft were shown there, including a few PMDG 747 400s...... Strange????thanksDR

Strangely enough i didn't get any messages, it just shut down, and that is the issue. i expected of course to see a reason given. I also have issue with my monitor screen (flat LCD of course, not the 'T Rex' CRT type)the monitor screen shows diagonal all lines and I have to restart the comp each time this happens.Now the main trouble is getting the comp to stay clear screen wise long enough to either repair or reinstall FSX on the comp here.ThanksDR

Have run it 3 times in 30 minutes with the same results- SP1 and 2 are installed.BTW- I know why PMDG doesnt work yet after repair to FSX install, i haven't reinstalled it from the EXE program.thanksDennis Robart
