John White 828331 Posted April 25, 2009 at 11:49 PM Posted April 25, 2009 at 11:49 PM I have recently purchased an Acer laptop, 2.5, dual-core, 3gb Ram and a 9300 card to use only for FSX demos and training...nothing else. I have been a FltSimmer since 1996 and now teach beginners how to use it. I have FSX Gold with Acceleration and when attempting to install, the first disc loaded fine but the second disc would not load at all. Eventually I was able to open disc 2 but when loaded, only one aircraft of each type was displayed. I also noticed that there was no aircraft.cfg file against any of them. I was able to "fly" those single aircraft but I need all the other options and liveries too so I attempted to "repair" FSX. This only served to prevent my opening FSX, you know....FSX has encountered an error......etc I know the discs are OK as I have loaded them successfully into my desktop computer. Now I'm at a loss what to do...... uninstall and start again? But will that again give me only one a/c of each type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did was to create an image of both disk, then installed from a virtual drive, (Daemon Tools). -- L. James -- L. D.
