My PC has been reformatted and I am trying to reinstall FSX Deluxe followed by Acceleration. After I installed FSX Deluxe I did a restart and tried to fire up the sim before installing acceleration. Acc. is not installed yet. I keep getting Error code 8-c0000006. I did a search for the code and found too many different opinions. Before I start pushing buttons, can some one help me out?
Windows XP Pro. And two things I didn't have before reformat are IE 8 and Vipre antivirus.
Edit: I fixed.

Hi Steve
Like you I've had this activation error since a new SSD and advice from all around is not too helpful.
However, I've solved my problem by going (Win7HP 64bit) to 'add/delete Progs' r/click on FSX Accel and select change.

Thanks Lin, and welcome to Simv! I got things up and running for some time now, although I have already forgotten how.

You're welcome, but after trawling on Google I found lots of simmers have the same or similar problems with re-installing FSX. Yours was the most recent plea I found. BTW, M$ were unable to help me out via Email. Maybe their knowledge base staff went out with the bath water, LOL.
