Hey, I installed Real flight g2, and once I get to a certain point, it tells me that I must install direct x 8.1. I already have direct x 9, but didn't want to mess anything up, so I just clicked "ok" to install it now. Soon after, I got an error message, telling me that it's made an error and must be closed. I can go back through the process and it will do the same thing no matter what I click. It will let me click on run real flight, because I guess it made it that far in the install. Once I click on this, nothing happens. I go through the troubleshooting menus, and I shut down all tasks that will voluntarily close. (not force closing anything) so then, I go back and click on run real flight. It said that it's not fully installed, and it goes through an installation that's abou 600 megs. After this, it says exacly This:
Notice:
The joystick driver will now be automatically installed. Please make sure that the joystick is plugged in at this time. This process may take up to 45 seconds.

Soon after, I get this error message
Error: DIERR_UNPLUGGED
File L:\Kelib2\DDirectX\DXDirectInput.cpp
Line: 309

I don't know what the problem is, It seems to be with direct x. I went through the troubleshooting menu for direct x, and made sure everything tested ok, and it did. Anyone have the same problem or have any recomendations? thanks for any help.
