Maur1940 2 Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi Joe, Thanks for the welcome, my operating system is windows10 and the FSX deluxe edition, it all started on the 24/12/15 when all I got was just the splash screen and then it stopped responding after about 10 minutes, I tried and removed the "Logbook.bin" still no joy I even deleted the FSX.config from "C// users/ name/ app/ micrsoft/ fsx" but to no joy, I am stumped.

mutley 4,497 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi, Thanks for the info, it really does help. I have had something similar and it was all down to the InstallShield application being corrupted.Have a look at this resolution from Microsoft, there is a download and run involved but it should be pretty secure to run https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/910816#bookmark-fixitformealways I hope it works for you as well.

Maur1940 2 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi Joe, I tried the system Restore and found that only restore I have is 29/12/15 when looked at the settings it says I have only 1% of saving, I think is wrong so I up it 33% and hope I will have more next time. But it looks as I might have to uninstall FSX completely and reinstall it again as it still only goes as far as the splash screen and stops. Link to post Share on other sites
Maur1940 2 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 This cleared the 1628 error but not the splash screen problem. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/games_windows_10/1628-failed-to-complete-installation-fsx-gold/d00f923b-f0da-4c40-ac7b-ce00f01eb7fe?rtAction=1451665034830 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Maur1940 2 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi all, Done a Uninstall & reinstall of FSX all ok except when I select PMDG & Level D aircraft it crashes, oh well keep on trying. :-( Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,314 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I did see this about PMDG and win10, http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a113/windows-10-compatibility-for-pmdg-products.aspx do you have the older models found on the list? I think Level D might have an updated installer for their products working in Win10, have you checked their site? Good luck with getting them working. Link to post Share on other sites
