FS9 Uninstall Issues

[Wii]

I want to do a clean uninstall/install and SP1 install of FS9 because I'm sick and tired of wating 5 minutes for FS9 to start up when FSX only takes about 10 seconds. (Vista SP1) I tried uninstalling using the Programs And Features...clicked uninstall MSFS2004...nothing happens. Went to the FS9 directory and used the UNINSTALL.EXE...nothing also. Inserted disk #1 and ran the uninstall...says initializing Uninstall...then nothing. Ran windows install clean up utility, doesn't show up there. Help? Tried restarting...nothing.

 Good luck with that.  I have my FS9 so loaded with add-ons it would take me a month just to re-install everything.  Of course, I would take the time to do it.

7 hours...Never done a defrag on this computer, had it since November...installed Vista SP1...hopefully will be done in the morning. :-/

7 1/2 hours of defragage...a few more uninstalling crap that came with my HP...registry cleaning...etc etc...FS9 installed and addons installed 40 WOAI packages, FS9 maxed with 100 traffic (no default) over New York City...25+ FPS
FS9 menu screen loading...5 seconds.
Select aircraft 2-3 seconds.
Yay!!

There is one other way I'd suggest for the future. Works like a dream, and it will get rid of everything FS9 related.

A simple HDD re-format will clean 'er up real good.
