A new wrinkle

[olderndirt]

Been camped out with a fatal error - FSX wouldn't open.

[color=#000000]I think you have to uninstall acceleration before you uninstall FSX. Try re-installing FSX, uninstalling accleration and then uninstalling FSX. I ran into a similar situation a while back, but I've had so many problems, I can't remember the details. Good luck.
Oh yeah, if you don't already have it, get Registry Booster. It will solve most, if not all of your registry problems, which might be causing some of your difficulties.

Dave.. Uninstall FSX using disc #1, Uninstall Acc using add or remove programs. It wont reinstall any other way except during a reformat.

Dave.. Uninstall FSX using disc #1, Uninstall Acc using add or remove programs. The correct order is in the stickies above.

The stickies are my guide and I'm uninstalling now via disk one.  Hopefully Acceleration will then uninstall with the add/remove.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Uninstall acceleration using the ACC disc also. Not sure of the order. I think last month I did FSX first and ACC last.. I believe I did it the other way around so I reloaded FSX, uninstalled ACC and reinstalled ACC with out having to mess with FSX again.

Can't find anything about uninstall on the Acc readme or anywhere else on the disk.

I apologize to all. Registry Booster is NOT freeware. But I think it is worth every nickel of the $29 price. I downloaded it and a program called Ultimate Defrag the same day. I just got confused/forgot which one was freeware. I am using Registry Booster often and it is working perfectly. It makes a backup every time you run it, so you can revert if it causes a problem.

Ultimate Defrag is freeware, and I think a very viable option to O&O Defrag. Ultimate Defrag offers options I never knew were possible, including choosing which files to defrag and [glow=yellow,2,300]where[/glow] they are placed on the drive for optimum access (performance)or archival use. I am still testing it, but so far I am very pleased with it. Be sure to download the following version from cnet, as I think the newer version from the maker is not freeware.

Again, I apologize to everyone for making this mistake. Please just chalk it up to the poor memory/confusion of an old man.

Thanks for the info Larry. Windows Live One Care does have a 30 day free trial with registry cleaner in it, but I found it to invasive, so I may put out the 29 bucks and try Reg Booster.
