My secret to success with FSX is to install FSX and any addons into their own seperate directory. Do NOT install into the "Program Files" or Program 86 folders! If you do, problems will arise. I have FSX installed as: C:\FSX All it's components are then loaded there. This goes for any add on apps such as Active Sky, AI Smooth, etc. If you keep them independent, you will have less problems.

So I just go, C:\FSX, it'll work?
