Thanks guys. Don't know how I missed that one... All is well and thank you.

Mr. Zippy, Okay. Everything fine now except turn off music. The music select box only lists different selections. No way to turn it off on mine. Appreciate the help getting this up and flying on Win 11.

My Zippy. Right click the speaker icon in the tray as you stated. Beyond that I get 2 choices "Open volume mixer" or "Sound settings" Neither of those gives me the choices you mention. Can you help with the absence of scenery? Sorry for the delay in answering you. Have been tied up someone this past week or so and do not get back to FSX every day. Dave

Okay installed and fly's. Two problems. (BTW it took about 30 min to load the program as you folks advised.) 1.No scenery except basic colors of the ground. No buildings, roads etc. nothing. I have not yet installed additional scenery. Only the default at present. 2. No cockpit sounds. No external sounds. If I fly a tutorial the instructors voice is heard fine. 3. Not a problem exactly but how do I turn of that darn background music? I have set this up exactly as my Windows 10 system was (still is). The problems are on Win 11. As my sound bar is operated simply from a USB connection I have to use headsets plugged into the Nvida headset jack. Any ideas or help appreciated. Joystick works fine everything else seems fine with the exceptions listed.

Thanks folks. Time to go take a shower and have lunch I guess. Good old crap Win 11. High speed computer, ssd drive and takes forever...

New Dell XP 8950. Windows 11. I have the original FSX discs, Product key etc. as I purchased FSX when first released. It installed fine on my Windows 10 system. Now trying to install on Win 11. Disk 1 runs fine until it gets to a small window stating, "Removing Applications" It stalls here at about 25% on the slider type installing notice. It then stops. "The reading disk light" stays on but nothing else happens. The discs are not worn, scratched or anything as they have only been used twice previously and kept in the original package. The desktop stays black except for the installing notice. Any ideas what to do here. I have Win 11 Pro on the computer.
