Very strange problem fs9 HELP ME PLEASE !!!!

Post by pietsteens »

I just uninstalled and reinstalled fs9. No problem.
But if I add sceneries into the scenery library of fs9 and then click on the OK button and shut down fs9,
the next time I restart fs9 all these sceneries are GONE !!! Not once, but every time and the only files I see in the library are the fs9 standard files.

My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.

Your help is very much appreciated !

Thank you
Piet

I'd say start by restarting your whole computer.

As it is Windows 7 it sounds like you don't have permission to alter files in the FS9 folder. It sounds like a UAC issue.

Yeah, working from this point, I think I found the solution : When I start fs9 with : Administrator, the problem
seems to be solved. !

Thanks for the tip !
