hi i have been flying flight sims off and on since fs98 and ive never had this problem. it all started when i installed DirectX 9 witch led to me not being able to view games when i search for ip addresses. so i uninstalled my game and reinstalled it but only one problem around 30% done (1st disk) it gave me an error saying that a file was corrupt ( D:/aircraft.cab) so i said ok and it uninstalled what it had installed already to i restarted my comp and tried again still same error so i restarted my comp and decided to install fs2002Novice edition. New error said it was D:/charts.cab. so i said F*** and asked my dad he said he didnt have a clue but to hope on a help forum and ask the inteligent people in the fs world and so here i am
so can someone plz help me get my game reinstalled???? help is widely accepted and if u want to e-mail me its

Not sure what "fS2002Novice edition" is, but at face value, it sounds like the CD is dirty or damaged.
Try cleaning it with a non-abrasive polish and a soft cloth.
If that doesn't work, you can contact Microsoft and they will usually replace the CD free of charge.
