Paul

i just tried to replica it on the laptop and no problems

so far all good on the laptop, the only thing different between the PCs are

tower runs 64bit win7 while the laptop runs 32bit win 7

the strange thing about it is, the 2nd time it happened, the tower was "as new" due to the PC format ( yes all updates were done before installing) and that time not installing the SDK

and both times it happened after i installed the lastest orbx products

could 64bit win7 might be causing these issues?

I have 64bit Win7 and don't have any of those problems. But I also have the full blown package, just FYI.

Matt, I am running Win7 64bit on my tower computer but it is stock standard with no Tweaking of the hardware. And it is not overclocked and FSX runs fine for me. I have it locked at 30FPS and it rarely drops below 22FPS.
 
cheers for the replies

we have gone off track or not sure what im seeking,

im aware fsx works in 64bit and im aware the orbx sceneries run under 64bit

I know the new sceneries work, as they run fine in sim play in windows 64bit

im trying to work out since ive installed the "new" orbx sceneries why I have lost my flight1 addons and fsinn

this has happened both times ive installed them

im trying to work out what in these orbx packages is preventing the flight1 and other addons in my menu bar from loading in sim play and it takes a pc format only to rectify this
 
I remember somewhere you said you had administrator rights turned off,so do I but I still run all installers as an administrator because sometimes programs can't write into the
registry or create dll files if you don't due to the weirdness of Windows 7. I have had some issues with this myself.
Are you installing as an administrator?
Using any program compatability settings on install?
I don't know if this could be causing your issues just throwing it out there.

I give you much credit for patience I would have already drop kicked my rig out into the yard.
At least three times by now.

Good luck.
 
No comments for a couple days so maybe you got it sorted out?

But if not have you considered running bare bones FSX for a couple days just to make sure it is a solid install before immediately installed 3rd party stuff on top? And then as you install the extra stuff do it one item per day to make sure it is still solid? That way you can also establish a restore point (new date) between each big add-on. Then when you find the one that craps it out restore back a day and toss that one. Just a thought.
