I'am trying to re-instally Microsoft Flight Simulator X, on my external hard
drive, after having some problems with it when it was previously installed,
missing files etc, one moment it was working and the next not, I trying to
uninstall/repair the game but the following error occurred, I manually
deleted the the folder on content that the gfame was in after the error msg
appeared hoping that this would solve it, I have also edited the regedit
file's actually deleted and still I get the same error msg

Error 1324, The path Extended Games contains an invalid character..

What can I do to resolve this pain in the ass of a problem, please help
thank u in advance to those that do respond.

Hi John Lewis,

Based on your post, you should skip right down to step C on this list ...

Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:

Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.

Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

Hi John Lewis,

You're welcome, thank you for your reply. :-)

Check the program again though please, it should cost to use it:
"License: Freeware"

| Thanks Jimmy,
|
| I have tried this program but only one draw back I have to purchase the
| program in order to delete the reg for the game, as I don't have a
| Credit/Switch card or ability to put funds into my paypal accoun t I'm not
| able to do this, so I am not better off, unless I again re-install Windows
| from scratch, as for some reason I'm having trouble also getting the PC to
| access Safe Mode Pressing F8 on my Packard Bell PC doesn't bring up Safe Mode
| F5 is and this is being a big problem as well. Currently I'm not feeling
| happy about the issue, but I'm sure at some point I will get the matter
| resolved. But thank you very much for you're help and reply. Much
| appreciated.
