FSX WON'T UNINSTALL!! HEEEELLLLPPPPPP

[Wii]

It won't let me use Add/Remove Programs to remove it and I can't just delete so WHAT DO I DO!?!?!!? FSX is p****** me off. I've had so many problems with it. Which is why I purchased FS9. PLEASE HELP!!!

[Brett_Henderson]

I've never had to uninstall it, but I'll bet it's the same as other versions...

Calm down.. insert disk 1 and you should see an un-install option.

[Wii]

Nope, the Disk doesn't help, it just asks to install again

[Mobius]

Then it probably is already uninstalled.  What makes you think it is still installed?

[Wii]

In Add/Remove Programs, it lists Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Used Frequently. Last used 9/11/07. Also weird, I played it yesterday not on the 11.

[Wii]

FSX Succesfully uninstalled.
