FS9...FSX...Living together?

[beana51]

I recently deleted in its entirety,both Sims.FS9,and FSX.I have had them running together on my CP before...I always felt that somehow they really do not share "Microsoft Games".I felt there was some interference on each others performance.Now my FS9 is performing great.A clean install.No saved anything.all reinstalled as new, and After many hours its better than it ever was.So after all this "Bloviating" my question is...Can the two really coexist in peace in Microsoft games?? If they do not,then I will have a Solomon type decision to make. I await some advice...thanx in advance.....I are VIN!!

I have both installed on the same computer in their default directories, and have no performance issues.

Hi Tom,I have both running now. I use WIN XP PRO 2002 version.Service PK 2 From the beginning,when FSX came out.. Not pleased with FSX,I recently uninstalled it.Reinstalled FS9 from scratch.And 8hrs later it performed great....So now I reinstalled FSX,with its add on stuff.It too now has improved.Good F/Rs ,,and smooth movement. How ever it will not function with SP2...locks up. All in all,a good house cleaning once in a while may be warranted.,but that SP2 thing bugs me yet!....OFF WE GO......Vin
