I just assumed thats what its looking for, when the program was not responding. If you look at the pic i took it clearly say's
YF-23 Removal Tool (Not Responding) down in the taskbar, so i just thought thats what it was looking for. But as i stated in my post is that it stops responding and does not reset the demo. I will uninstall the demo and clean my registry and go and start the process over to see if i can get it to work. If not i'll wait till next weekend to buy the full package and just drool at the pics everyone keeps posting till then.:mixedsmi: Thanks again for your hard work.

Tim,
Thanks for posting the reset tool. It allowed the new version of the demo to install but there were some initial issues and once I got those sorted out the demo only lasted about 5 minutes. Did you mean for it to be that short?
Anyway, I'm running Win 7 Pro x64; FSX is on D: and what initially happended was the game would CTD each time I tried to load the P-38.
This part may be helpful ~ I figured out the issue was the installer had not written the update to the dll.xml file in the roaming profile properly. The only entries in the file were from the " -Name- <NAME>FSDX -/Name-</NAME>" line onwards (the forum doesn't like the proper XML brackets). All the previous entries were gone so it wasn't a complete XML file. I was able to rescue most of my other entries from the backup the A2A Cub installer made but my CS 727 entries are gone. Anyway, the P-38 would then load.
I thought I saw all the gauges briefly but I got focused on trying to make the yoke disappear. I got a few popups saying something like the P-38 wanted to modify my system, which I ok'd, but then I noticed the gauges were gone like last week. I hadn't even gotten to the exterior views. So I quit FSX and was going to reboot my system in case that helped but then I saw the popups saying the demo had expired.
Next I tried to uninstall the demo. The uninstaller stopped responding after I selected the option to uninstall all the aircraft and clicked the next button. (That's a little further then it got with the previous version last week.)
I don't wish to sound harsh but with all the trouble I'm having with the demo, I don't have enough confidence left to want to chance $40+ CDN just to see if the full version behaves better. I think if I could get a relatively trouble free demo installation and an hour's flight without any issues I'd buy it.

You got it this time, Tim. Used the reset and the P-38 loaded with no problems. I have been "flying" for a couple hours today and am very impressed with this "forked tailed devil". Thanks for all the hard work.
