FSX problems again

valo43

Hi Sorry to be a pain again but earlier problems have returned.I installed
the latest driver for Ge Force 8800GS as suggested, adjusted sliders in
settings and clicked the antialiasing ect checkbox. The problem was that my
copy of FSX was not as new as I was led to believe and kept informing me that
it had been registered before. So off I went and bought a new copy from P C
World along with a copy of FSX Acceleration expansion pack. I had problems
trying to uninstall the old FSX or at least to install the new one. I had to
revert to System Restore before being able to install the new copy. After
installing new copy I again slid sliders and clicked checkbox in settings I
have not yet installed any service packs as I am led to understand that
acceleration pack will not install with SP1.Not sure about SP2. Since new
install curser is now black and throttle on joystick(old Logitec wingman
force feedback) will no longer shut down. All and any help appreciated.

Install Acceleration. Don't worry about service packs, - it will install
them. Hopefully it fix things up for you.

Otherwise just uninstall then reinstall FSX, Acceleration, and go fly.

Acceleration includes SP2. You probably have to reinstall your graphics
drivers after doing the system restore.

driver. All ok but I must get a new joystick, thinking of Saitec X52?
