Hi everyone

I'm new around here and I need help

I was was having a spot of bother with the Vickers, Viscount the guages weren't showing in the panel so I tried again to copy them into the folder.  Windows warned me there would be trouble but I did it anyway.

I could not then use the the aircraft at all

So I decided to uninstall FS9 and everything in it and start again the un install went fine and I then tried to delete the remaining folders from addons installed.  There is one file I cannot delete:

Bendix_King_Radio

Now I cannot re-install FS9 because of this File tried to ignor it and rename the FS9 Folder but it won't let me do that either

I am completely stuck

Can anyone help please

Try right-clicking the file to see if it is read only. If it is, de-check that, and delete it.

You might also try restarting your computer and trying again - XP sometimes "locks out" files that have been used in that session.

You can select an alternative location for FS9 - e.g. C:\FS2004 rather than the default location in ...\Program Files\Microsoft Games\..

All files will then be installed fresh. It's also a good idea to uninstall using an uninstall utility. That will clean up any redundant registry files which could prove troublesome. At least use the 'add/remove programs' utility in Control Panel. Never send programs to the recycle bin & expect things to be fine... Not a bad idea either to refresh your system by rebooting following uninstall.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks guys

Rebooting did the trick

Glad you were able to get it straightened out...;-)
