Ok first off let me just say I am a newbie to the world of pc gaming. 
  
All I wanted to do was pay my WoE and tried to upgrade it to WoE IV so I could fly against some Mig 29s. This has led to my current issue. 
  
I installed the WoE Nato fighters I, II, III, IV, The issue at that time was that the weapons would not show. I was not able to figure out how to resolve the issue. So un-installed WoE. Then i attempted to do a clean install. From that moment on, when i run the game it would crash. Then i attempted to finish that issue by installing the oct30 patch. Which  caused the game to run but no weapons show. And every time i press escape from the mission im on, the game crashes and ends up in windows. (I should mention no matter how many times i uninstall the game and reinstall it, the same thing happens) 
  
ALL i want to do is fly some fighters and shoot some migs! Can anyone please help me with some easy to follow instructions.  
  
Thanks
