Yep, that worked and FSX is installing as I type this. Thanks alot for all the help, much appreciated!

I used the uninstall feature of the install disc 1 and then used pmdg's guide to installing and unistalling to remove anything thats left http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx

Hi, I'll describe exactly what problem is occuring. Program: Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition System Specs: Dell Optiplex 745 Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHZ VTX3D Radeon HD 7750 1GB Edition 4GB RAM Windows Vista 32 Bit Background Info: This is my second time installing FSX ever and I unistalled for a fresh install after a build up of unwanted addons. Problem: I insert FSX install disc 1 and autoplay come up and i click on run now. the installer now runs and begins setting up. Once the installer is ready on options menu comes up where I can choose install location etc... After choosing my install location etc... the game begins to install. There is one large windows which is black with no image and one smaller windows that is running through the setup. Once it gets to 'Removing Applications' it seems to get stuck. The progress shows 7 blue bars. No matter how long I leave the installer running nothing happens and it continues to say 'Removing Applications' The installer isn't 'not responding' according to task manager. If you require any futher info please let me know. Many thanks, Adam
