V2 is the latest and for FSX, I suspect the other is for FS9. Suggest you
remove both, and reinstall the V2 version (198-b2138)
Your choice

Thinking the fault might lie with IVAP, I've just re downloaded it. However,
before installing it I thought I'd perhaps re run the Configuration. When I go
to XP's Start Programmes I find IVAO, with two branches to pro starts. One is
IVAp - IVAO Virtual Pilot Client and the second IVAp - IVAO Virtual Pilot
Client v 2.
Why two and which do I run? HEEEEEELP!!!
