Hi Beana,

I use Windows 2000, but it still should look something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name"\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9 .... FS9 config and stuff are in this folder.

Yours,

Hi Randy,...i use WinXPpro...Yes before my meltdown,thats where it was....hover now,after a complete total reinstall of everything,incl the operating system,I think I'm in the "Twilight Zone"those places do not exist ,except for only documents and settings,my name...and thats it??? MADNESS WITH THE MONSTER!!! Oh well....Thanx for your help.........Vin

Same Win-thing here, Vin: Empty your desktop (hit "Windows" + M) and hit "F3". Change the search directory to "local harddisks" and the ´futer will find it.
My path is C:\documents and settings\username\application data\Microsoft\FS9
SOMETIMES these XP-crates get stupid with searching configfiles. That can be adjusted within the search options.

Vin-XP? Tales Of Horror And Imagination?
You´ll find it. Like the Spritzer.

I use XP Home but I guess this still applies.....

In Windows Explorer:
-Click on Tools>Folder Options>View tab.
-Activate 'Show hidden files and folders'.
-Click Apply and OK.

When using the search function:

-Click on 'More advanced Options'
-Select search..system folders, ..hidden files and folders and ..sub folders

Well Randy,Slide,and Dave...Thanx much....I got good news,and I got bad news....
the good news is that I'm almost back to where I was before the storm of something,, which destroyed my computer.Been able to recover a lot.Justen at Genesis was great.What ever I got from him over the years ,was offered back to me.They run a good business over there.Need more good men in this field.My FSX, it was a time to rediscover it.I loaded it up with lots of stuff,then promptly got into that SP2 thing.Over all I'm not to thrilled with it.My computer has the stuff to run it.so I sat there longing for my FS9.... The in a fit of despairer,I did it again,reinstalled it.Got enough stuff to make it presentable. I learned quickly ,that I could run it all to the Max. settings.A joy to fly. Not so with ,for me at least, was FSX...something is lacking...it seems its not complete..I use better than average settings,frame rates OK..but...its in the "but" I guess.So I'm back with Bill Lyons.Ya cannot go wrong with that beautiful world he brought many to.. Now the bad news...the CFG. file continues to elude me.I tried all and every method to recover it.Before my breakdown it was where it should be,but now....its playing hide and seek....I swear this computer business is like dealing with a living thing.It has a sadistic and mean streak...it has a fiendish sense of humor.Just lites up before I get a sledge hammer to get revenage...sometime it makes strange noises...like it snickering at me....I really think it sits there,conjuring up more misery for me.
Next time I get a CFG,I'm gonna stuff it down his miserable face.....Oh well..."Che Meseria"But I'll let you in on a seceret...I Love it......Thanx men....Some day ,month,or year I'll get that sucker!!!.........Vin
