    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSX uninstall

What specifically is the proper way to uninstall FSX? I've put in disk 1 in an attempt to get the process started; so far I've gotten the installer saying it's read the disk and started the "install" process, which I don't want. The screen is a dark blue featureless thing. The disk has been reading frantically for about 25 minutes now but with no action. Should I have put disk 2 in first? There are no clear directions at all on the package re: this process.

I should mention I have a question to ask - is it normal for someone who's taken step one as described above to open their control panel in Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium Edition, go to Programs and Features/Uninstall or Change a Program - and not find FSX in the list of installed programs even though I've not given any commands to the computer as the result of the above step? It never did anything except to give the blank screen as described above. I also note in the installation section of the instruction booklet there are instructions for installing the sim into Windows XP and Windows Vista, but nothing in Windows 7. How on earth could I be running this thing for many months prior to this, and without the disks in the machine, with no indication of the sim being in the Program list in the Control Panel?
 
Do you have acceleration installed, if so I think acceleration shows up in Programs and Features instead of FSX. You can get freeware programs that can uninstall programs that don't show up in the list. One that I like is from Piriform called CCleaner, once installed look for the tab called tools and then find uninstall and it list the programs that can be uninstalled from the computer.
