"I just honestly don't see why it has to be so much trouble installing FSX as in that guys tutorial lol
or why anyone would have to re-install the game like 50 times"

Probably because I kept mucking with it and kept loosing a 'smooth' flight.

Think I'll give your cut and paste a try - I certainly know how to reinstall!  :)

Boomer,

 I stand corrected! I just moved FSX from my SSD to C: with ctlx, ctlv (cut and paste) and durrned if you aren't right, at least on my system.

 It loads a bit slower but the in flight result is the same.

 Guess the old goat can still learn, thank goodness.

 Now I'll move DBW to the SSD, same way.

 Thanks.

 Jack

Worked a sinch with Cut/Paste in XP i'm pleased to report! Just had to 'send to' desktop with the new .exe icon, even my add-ons are working.

Found a utility called 'FSX Reg Fix' over at Flight1 which seemed to sort everything else out but not sure it was needed at all !!

Thanks guys,

Mick
