A real problem with fsx deluxe...

I recently bought a copy of fsx deluxe, and have tried to install it on my pc many times, but with no avail. Every time I insert the disk into my dvd slot, I start to hear the disk turn, but then it stops, and my computer looks perfectly normal. However, as soon as I do anything other then select an icon on my desktop, everything freezes, and I have to pull the plug. Trhis is a realpain, and I would really appriciate it if somebody could help me out...

Have you tried installing via the Control Panel?

Are you de-activating your antivirus during installation?

I had the exact same problem and was also with the deluxe version . I sorted the problem by putting my original dvd rom drive back in as i bought a cheap dvd writer and flight sim x would not run with my cheap dvd writer .
Hope it helps
