I am a computer challenged person....:isadizzy:


I uninstalled FSX, and installed it back since my PC has been infected with a trojan viruses.... Now, FSX won't start up, is there anything I missed here? :pop4:

However, FS9 is working ok, at least...


Isn't it as easy as uinstall-install thing? :isadizzy:

You mean that when you click the FSX Icon to launch the game it does nothing???



If so..Put FSX disk 1 back in the DVD drive and run it..Then select repair option.....

Hopefully that will get er done...

I've had this problem, try going to your main fsx folder and clicking the icon in the main fsx file the .exe one and see if that works!
