Why in :censored: hell does the FSX activation bug out everytime you reinstall your OS on the other partition?!?!?!?

All I get is a :censored: 8-c0000006 error and FSX starts in demo mode!
Yes there is a registry fix for this :censored:, but it doesn't :censored: work at all!


Why, why in :censored: name do I need to reinstall a 20Gb binary dump because of one, incredibly :censored: tiny error?!?!?!?!?!

Can't programmers think at least one :censored: bit of the power-users who :censored: know what they're doing?!??!??


I'm gonna write MS an email and request my time spent on reinstalling and defragging FSX back!!:mad:

Oh, and they better not let my activate FSX by phone later one....they better not!!!!!!!!!:angryfir:




(As if Vista wasn't annoying enough already!)
 
I dearly hope so.


Excuse the foul language, guys, but I reallyreallyreally needed that.




Upside of this whole mess: Fresh OS and fresh FSX = max performance.
 
Its OK...We all feel that pain from time to time with FSX....:d
 
Oh, :censored: great! Now I can't add scenery folders in FSX anymore!



I'm really starting to hate Vista...
 
Do you have show all folders checked( not sure if that matters here)

Have you disabled , Ahhh,whats it called,,UAC?

I wouldn't even use Vista with UAC enabled. ;)


I *somehow* got the scenery library to work.


Been defragging for the last six hours. Once it's done I'll be off playing with the fsx.cfg.
 
I totally agree. It's utter $hite. :angryfir:

I actually went and bought another copy just to stop phoning the :censored: . :banghead:

What for? Activations?


I'm just glad I got my copy for free via MSDNAA. I guess I would have returned Vista by now if I had bought it regularly.
 
Had to reinstall Vista and FSX yet again.


I'm getting tired of this :censored:, especially since calling Microsoft for activation takes up so much time..."5634564564891648914984631348989471245566453" and stuff...:banghead:


I think I'll sacrifice space for a restore point now.
 
Easy fix install it on your C drive activate it then copy complete fsx folder to the drive you want it on and use the path restore file on avsim to restore the path. Thats what i did, but dint install any addons untill you have moved it.
 
OUCH.....I found it to be less of a hassel if when you format you don't use windows to do it but a third party software...winows leaves way to much crap on the HD...I have never had a problem on a reinstall and also never had a problem reinsatlling FSX either.
 
These threads still baffle me.. I'm running FSX on Vista 64-bit no less.. I've experimented with add-on scenery; both freeware and payware (putting it in and taking it out, over and over)... I've loaded and removed (kept some) add-on aircraft.. AND I've gone through all the read, write, modify, delete, save of EVERY type of aircraft file, cfg, texture, sound.. imaginable; over and over again while designing my own add-ons..

I'm doing all of this on the original installation of FSX; while enjoying near bug free game-play...
 
I run Vista Home Premium and FsX Acceleration and have had it so since December 2007. I had to do a repair to FsX in September and then had to reinstall some scenery but otherwise no real problems.
I disabled UAC as soon as I had Vista installed and otherwise I'm happy. I guess I must be lucky?

Not a bad idea. If you can get the activation going by this, you won't even need to copy the FSX folder.

Humanity never went back to the stone age because of some huge wars...neither will I move back to FS9 or XP32 - come whatever may. ;)

Brett, FSX doesn't cause any trouble that would have me reinstalling it or the OS.
But once the OS bugs out, it takes FSX with it.

Looks good so far.

Once I had everything installed, I created a system restor point. Just in case something goes wrong again.

By the way, the cause for all this hassle was Vista's "System File Verification Tool" (for repairs). I ran it because I've encountered some random application crashes. It finished like it should, except for a few error messages.
Well, instead of making things better, it produced a nice BSOD (0x000000F4) on startup - affecting both "safe mode" and "use last known configuration".
So the only remaining option was the recovery console and my basic knowledge of MSDOS commands to save everything of value on that drive.

Lesson learned: Always keep one basic restore point at hand.
