    hello,
    I am trying to re-install CFS3 but i am having some difficulties. It gets about 22% through and then an erroro occurs:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3\movies\cfs3_intro_movie.mpg
    This file cannot be installed because it may be in use. Close all applications and try again

    I do that and it says the same thing.
    What shoudl I do??

    Ok, I tried doing it on safe mode but that buggered up my computer and I had to restore it. So, i tried installing it to a different location, rather then the default Microsoft games one. That worked fine! I have installed it and have shot down a total of about 5 American bombers so far!
    thanks anyway for your help Radarman! Laughing

    Safe mode shouldn't have had any effect on the machine but I'm glad it all worked out in the end.
