Warning re 1.05 beta

[Sieze2]

I installed it after my last thread, and now it won't run. Keeps saying invalid string ? I have reinstalled 3 times and still it won't run except in original 1.3 setup. Even then it is unstable and will crash.

I strongly suggest others don't install this beta. I'll spend another hour on it, and will cointact phoenix support tomorrow, but you have been warned.

A complete XP reinstallation is the last thing I need right now

I was a bit reluctant to download this 'upgrade' cos of all the problems reported.. But having now done it I can't see any problems(or improvements for that matter).
I don't know enough about computers to offer any help I'm afraid, but mines running fine

Just as a suggestion make sure you have installed all the extra planes, helis and sceneries. If you have downloaded them and already installed previously, try reinstalling. I had a similar thing happen on an earlier beta and this fixed things for me.

It will not need an XP re-install. Thats totally uneccesary.

Good luck

Could try complete un-install. Then re-install all required parts.

when you uninstall pheonix it will leave a file in program files with save date and user setting in it you need to find this and manual deleat it, then run something like Ccleaner to clean all the old files and registry entry's, then try a reinstall, this should fix it.

Thanks guys good advice. To clarify I have uninstalled 3 time and reinstalled as well, and it won't run in version 1.04i. However I had previously installed all the extra heli's and scenery's, so that might be the problem. I will try installing 1.04i again and reinstall all the scenerys to get it back to exactly the same as before, before running it again, hopefully that will work.

Was prety hacked off late last night, so sorry about the tone of the last post. The main problems I have ever had with computers is installing progams.

After an email from phoenix this morning I have it working. All I had to do was delete the Phoenix folder in "my documents". Can't complain about their customer support, they emailed 10.15am this morning.

Happy chappy again

wont the system restore fix it?

[Made2Fade]

that would still leave the folder he was talking about so no i dont think sys restore would have sorted it. Bit unecessary id say anyways bud.
