1st post on a forum -
should say that I know just enough re: computers to get myself into real trouble, to whit:
I have Windows 7 X 64 O/S and have installed FSX gold edition. when I went to install the acceleration disc, window popped up saying "setup failed to initialize".
I had Acceleration installed once before, but due to my lack of knowledge managed to corrupt FSX and had to start over.
I am trying to "uninstall" acceleration, have gone through the: Control panel/pgms & features\acceleration\uninstall. it did not completely uninstall it.
then went through reg.edit\find, and deleted any references to acceleration, or fsx acceleration. that evidently did not do it.
When trying to re-install FSX SP2 (it has what I need) I got another window saying that SP2 cannot be installed because "Microsoft Flight Simulator X acceleration is already installed and has SP2 as part of the program.
I'm thinking there is a "marker"(?) in the registry, if there is, I do not know how to find it.
Could use any and all suggestions.
