Please help, I have just installed Windows Vista, updated to SP1 and put in my FSX Deluxe DVD and the following error message appears: "Error reading initialization file" How do I bypass this to be able to install FSX? |

Most DVDs will install if you open the CD (Right-click on the CD icon and choose Open), then find the SETUP.EXE icon and run that. -- -A. |

Huck First guess, your CD/DVD drive is having problems reading discs, it may be working ok sometimes, but not all the times. Second guess, If you have access to another computer, try installing your copy of the game on that system. Another possibility is the discs aren't reading correctly. If the same problems occur, see if you can exchange the discs for new ones. I know if you buy a copy of the game from like Best Buy you could return the defective copies for a refund. not many stores will let you return opened software. Any other games exhibiting similar problems on your system? Post your system specs here as well so we know what we're working with. -- -A. |

Where'd this little bit of hate come from Erik? I put up a couple suggestions and ask for system specs thinking there may be something in Col. Huck's setup that could be causing this problem. I'm sorry I don't see the context of what you're trying to say here? I'm looking through my newsreader and I see any responses from you to this post. Am I missing something? Col. Huck stated he was having problems installing FSX when he gets to disc 2, I mean that seems like it could be something as simple as a scratched disc. I didn't know you had to be a "technical guru" to offer a suggestion to get his problem resolved. I never claim to be the end all, be all of information when it comes to this newsgroup, and if being a technical guru requires a certain level of snideness and the need to insult people for no apparent reason then I'd be happy to bow to your guru-ness. That said, I am a human being, I know the Internet offers you the marvellous freedom of being able to insult people without fear of reprocussion, but I don't appreciate it, and I'm sure you don't either. -- -A. |

If English is a second language, feel free to express yourself in whatever language you're most comfortable with, I have translators here. Like I said I must of missed what you said earlier, and I'm guessing I gave the same information you gave and now your panties are in a bunch. I'm not sure what this O2Stream image link is, but I'm guessing you need to get back to work now. I think Usenet should disable all www integration. Keep the riff-raff out. Bye Erik. -- -A. |
