No, I don't mean FSX is working perfectly. I am having very slow program installation times.
After having FSX problems, as described in another thread, I decided to start over by reformatting and installing. The only change I made was replace an 80G SATA OS drive with a 640G SATA that I now have OS and FSX on together.
However, I noticed when installing FSX and Acceleration, as well as FSGenesis V2 that it takes forever. Everything seems to work, it just takes hours to install a program that should take 15 minutes or less.
I set the BIOS to "optimized" and ran one of these test programs. Everything seems to be working normal. I thought it might be the DVD drive. Howeve, because of the "workaround" I did, I had to copy the Acceleration DVD to a hard drive and install from there. That too took a long time to install.
Any ideas?
