hi all

i recently bought flight simulator acceleration pack and couldn't wait to install it. however with less than 2 gb of memory on my hard drive i was not able. So we installed a 250 gb hard drive and put in the acceleration disk in. I clicked install and it comes up with

"to install flight simulator acceleration you must have an english copy of FSX"  

But the thing is ..... i do have an english copy and it works perfectly

Please help me.....i really want to fly those carrier missions

thanks in advance

is the main game on the new hard drive? the installer may just be looking on the new drive

yes
thats whole idea of the new hard drive- it is all flight sim

Is the new drive just an additional drive, with just FSX fully installed on it?

..and your Windows Operating System, which should contain the new FSX details in its Directory, is still on the original drive?

...make sure you have INSTALLED FSX on the new drive, and not just dragged the Folder over!

yeah well i learnt that the hard way

the first time i just cut and pasted the main folder but afterwards
i dleted all the files, uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it.
And all this is on the new hard drive!!!

Isn't there a problem with changing your Hardware and trying to re-install FSX?

Don't you have to contact Microsoft to Confirm that you own the Copy of FSX which you are trying to install on the SAME MACHINE.....(Copyright Protection)...?

FSX sometimes thinks its being installed on someone else's machine...for free!.... ...!

It would have taken about 45 seconds to edit  the Registry to show where FSX was moved...

How do you edit the registry, how do you find where the registry is for FSX?
