corrupted .air files?

Have just loaded a new Acer laptop (XP) with FSX Gold with Accelerator. It works fine, good graphics etc but I only get one version of every aircraft. I have FSX on a desktop also but that is 100% ok with all liveries shown.

Comparing the two, I note that the .air files are different, those on the laptop seeming to be corrupt.

I have tried copying aircraft from my desktop to the laptop but in the process the .air files seem to die.... so I never get all the liveries.

The aircraft.cfg files are normal showing all variations but I only get one!

Is there a fix for this weird problem please?

I remeber hearing something about adobe acrobat 9 would mess with the FS air files.

 

Not sure if this is what is happening to you, but might be worth looking at?

Thanks Steve, but I deleted my Acrobat vers.9 and installed vers.8 but it made no difference. I tried copying "clean" .air files from another computer but as soon as they get to the laptop... bingo... they die.
