Reinstallation success

[c210]

I decided to reinstall my FS2004. Mainly because the directory was now 19GB big and 99% of the aircraft I do not fly anymore! So I backed up my
'Database' and payload directory, and removed FS9 from my HD. Defragged and reinstalled FS9 and then all my payware aircraft I still fly and the
aeroworx scenery files for South Africa. Got their liveries up and running and tested to see if FSUIPC still works ok. Copied the backed up database
for FSP back into place, resubmitted my username and password and run FSP.

No problems, company, my pilot and aircraft still there (duh!!) and no authorization problems sofar! Admittingly I only ran FSP for about 2 - 3
minutes so I would not have seen the authorization failure message yet but the unlock said everything was A ok.

So for all those souls with problems, the FAQ works! :D Just need to read up on a few things before you go running of the cliff

I'm happy for you man. But you should let it run for a a little while longer to see if its gonna stop. I hope is doesn't tho. I did not back up
my database or payload directory. I just deleted the whole thing when I was upgrading to Vista. It looks like everyone is saying you should
backup your database b4 you delete FsP. I wonder..........does your database have anything to do with the password to unlocking
FsP Cus my password is dead for some reason and I honestly bought it.

The unlock code has nothing to do with your database. I don't have Vista but make sure when running and installing addons you
richtclick the file and
choose for run as administrator. (No matter whether you're logged on as admin already)
