Oh, absolutely, bambam. This is simple to solve.  
  
Just replace "blah" with "yada yada."  
  
Now, then. When you are serious about seeking help, get serious about  
  
telling us what is really going on. Calm down and describe every step  
  
and every message. Only then can anyone figure out what next to ask you.  
  
Start over and specify everything in factually accurate detail. No one  
  
can help you without that effort on your part.

That's a whole lot better, bambam. Here's a tip for doing even better.  
  
It's very important to write down the messages you see, word for word.  
  
They provide clues for others to help you with. We would really need to  
  
know what file it says is corrupt and what file it says might be in use,  
  
exactly as it says in the message.  
  
Also, we need to know what version of Windows you are using - Windows  
  
98, Windows ME or Windows XP.  
  
Here's another tip. There are at least two different kinds of numbers  
  
that are involved here. One might be a serial number or a key code or a  
  
CD set number, and the other is a Product ID number. Each Product ID  
  
number is unique to the individual user and the machine the program is  
  
installed on. Microsoft is interested in the Product ID number, more  
  
than in the serial number. When you first start to install the first  
  
disc, one of the early screens in that process shows you the Product ID  
  
number. It's a long one. You need to write down that number to be able  
  
to get support on the web from Microsoft.  
  
In addition to the good tips Vic just gave you, be sure that antivirus  
  
software is not running when you try to install. If you try again, be  
  
sure there is no Flight Simulator 9 folder on your machine first. If  
  
there is, delete it and everything in it before starting over.  
  
The reason Vic was telling you to try on a different machine has to do  
  
with copy protection that is on the disc. Some CD-ROM drives have a  
  
difficult time reading a copy protected disc. Yours might be one of  
  
them. The discs could be fine, but your CD-ROM drive might not be able  
  
to read them.  
  
Try these tips, and get back to us. Remember to write everything down if  
  
it fails again.

Well, a screen shot is even better than just writing it down. Do you  
  
know how much free space you have left on your C:\ drive? If you even  
  
suspect you are running low, you can go to Start > Programs >  
  
Accessories > System Tools and run the Disk Cleanup tool to free up  
  
space. As you are probably aware, the installation process requires a  
  
good deal more space than the program itself. Disk Cleanup will help you  
  
delete temporary internet files and all sorts of leftover *.tmp  
  
temporary files, and could free up the extra space this message suggests  
  
you need. Why not give that a try, bambam, as it doesn't hurt anything,  
  
it's easy, and it could be just what you need. From the message, it does  
  
not appear that there is anything wrong with your FS disk 2, but that  
  
the writing process to your hard disk is being halted by a lack of space  
  
on the hard disk itself, so clean it out and free up some space and give  
  
it another go, is my advice. That screenshot was very helpful. Nice going.
