FSX is giving me problems and I have no idea what the source of those might be. I have major pauses and stutters in the Sim just sitting at a parking spot where I am unable to do anything until the Sim fixes itself. It also has this weird thing it does now when I close out the Sim. If I decide to go back into FSX at some point (5 mins later, 30 mins or an hour later) I get a message that FSX is already running. When I check, it's actualy been moved to "Background Process" "Suspended". So rather than actually shutting down as it has always done in the past. . .it now has this new trick it likes to play, lol.
I have decided to do a clean install on my "D" drive, which is larger and has very little on it since I did away with P3D and X-Plane. Can I leave the installation that's on the "E" drive intact and do a fresh install on the "D" drive or will it recognize the current installation and make me uninstall that one first. My thought was that by doing that I could simply move the airplanes, gauges, etc. over and then uninstall the old version once I have what I need. Suggestions?
On a side note, in looking through Task Manager I have 56 Background Processes running and 86 Windows Processes running (most of those are the ones labeled "Service Host"). Seems like a ridiculous amount of stuff running in the background. I have no idea what most of it is or does so I have refrained from just arbitrarily shutting those off.
