why make new threads?  Just makes it harder to figure out what you have done in the past...

maybe it isn't cause we don't care, but we don't have an answer...

was just a suggestion...keep posting in the same threads, and that way the info is all in one place and we don't have to look all over the place to find what you are talking about...just a suggestion...i know for me, if i were trying to help someone, I would be much more inclined to help someone that has all the info in one place rather than someone making all sorts of threads...

again, just a thought...trying to help that way...

:(

Don't worry, Alry. You don't have to pay for another copy of FSX. If you have to regiester it by phone, all Microsoft asks you is the reason for re-activation. When I upgraded to my new system (see sig), I had to re-activate FSX over the phone because at that time I already had it installed on 2 seperate computers (my home & work PC's).

When I called in to activate it, the woman asked me the reason why and I simply told her that I upgraded my PC and it didn't recognize the hardware. She then gave me an activation code.

They're not lawyers. Their job isn't to drill you on how you got your copy of FSX. They just simply want to know if it's a legit copy. It took me less than 5 mins. You'll be ok. No worries.

I'm pretty sure it's toll free #.

Did you re-install FSX? If it does ask you to re-activate it over the phone and you're not able to, you can still use the game but only for 30 mins each time you load it. After 30 mins, it asks for an activation code.

P.S. have you tried system restore? Try restoring it to a date where you didn't have problems. But don't do it if you're not sure about it.

Thanks ZR for you concern, I always delete the option of restore(I never had the need to use it), I think It has to be with a damage file while the defrags was moving and placing some of the many files..."that's a theory" ,I didn't reinstall ,I format my drive because of a virus,2 weeks ago

I always keep system restore on. That thing saved my butt more than once...

Bummer about the virus. I too went thru a similiar experience not too long ago and with the help of Nick N, I took care of it. Are you running an anti virus program by any chance?
