FSX reactivation

Hi,

I used it successfully. I don't recall the exact details but I originally had FSX Standard installed and purchased Gold. I read several posts suggesting that after uninstalling, using a registry cleaner to remove all traces of the original prior to the new install. I believe what happened was that the registry cleaner removed some but not all of the remnants of FSX. It seems that part of FSX thought it was activated and wouldn't allow a new activation but another part failed to recognize that it was activated. In other words the registry cleaner made FSX schizophrenic. Now, if there was just some way to stop people from recommending this.

Jim F.
