"Delete or remove it somewhere safe" the FS9 CFG from C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\ and then start sim again and it will rebuild another free of charge
make sure you have hidden folders to show hidden folders or you will never find the CFG
Hint "folder options in the control panel "

Rebuilt the CFG. Still doesnt work. I thought maybe i had done the noob thing and got a mark on the disc but no, i cleaned that and it still doesn't work. How about just uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing??

HELP!

Hi guys,

Yuss i got my FS working. I just shut down the computer when i went to school and then started it up at about 3 and it was working like a charm! I got my joystick today also so i am finally set with scenery, controls etc. Now i can just download some more aircraft when i feel like it!!

Thanks for your help, ScottyB.
