Weird problem with FSX! Please help!

have you tried re-installing it?

if you do re-install make sure you will want to back up your add-ons in a seperate folder outside of the fsx folder

Well I was trying NOT to have to reinstall, since I was told after 2 times, you have to call Microsoft to get the game activated again. If I reinstall, that's it. Is it true after 2 activations you get problems with Microsoft?

You can reinstall on the same machine as often as you wish.

radar man is correct you can install it as many times as u want the same computer just not different ones.

How does Microsoft know that this is being activated on the same machine?

well my theory is that when the code is entered a script is sent to a microsoft computer and it stores your ip and when you try to put the code on a different computer the code will match with the previous one and match the ip thus sending microsoft a awareness thingy

note:i started to write kinda wierd im confused 😳

I wanted to let everybody know that in trying to reinstall it, it gave me the option to "repair" and it used both disks to do so. In repairing, it kept all of my add on planes and seemed to have resolved the weird graphics issue I had in the beginning of this thread. If it comes back or something else happens, I will re-instate this thread to keep everybody updated.

Repair before re-install, I guess that's the motto for me! LOL 😂

o BTW welcome to the forums 😀
