ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Tried the install. Followed all read-me items to a tee. Got a fatal error on FSX start!

Made the back-ups like the read-me said, so I then deleted the "modified" texture file, then pulled a re-do by reinstalling the backup copy.......

I am hoping I am not FUBAR!!!

Here's a C&P of the error message:

Is this fixable?

Sounds like you may have installed something 'funny'.

Yesterday I tried the "repair" section of FSX and Acceleration, to no avail.

I was sorta thinking that I was gonna hafta do an eviction, then reinstall, 'cause even after I'd waxed the effect and texture folder, then replaced with the backup(original) I still got the fatal error result.

The distressing part will be the reinstall of all my add-ons....120 or so aircraft, scenery, etc....

Thanx for the response! 8-)

I uninstalled my payware scenery and, of course, had to reinstall that but all the aircraft were still there when I reinstalled.

Thank you VERY much for the tips!!!  Worked perfectly! 

You're very nice!  Someday someone will write folk songs about you!
