This has happened to me also and I'm seeing more reports of this on the forums. I found that by deleting all IE cookies (and I mean by going into the folder and doing this) then all is well again with FS9 for awhile. I'm wondering if an IE auto update has made things a little screwy?I'll be interested to know if this works for you as it works for me everytime.

not really sure about the cookies,i use mozilla,what i have done is move all my addon scenerys do a diff drive.started fs9 and no problemsim now in the process of moving my addon sceneries back 1 by one and see what causes the problemi will stay in touchthanks to allnick berardi

I'm glad you're working your way to a solution Nick. I can't explain why my cookies effect FS9 although I know the sim does use IE, all I know is that if I get the out of memory error and then delete the cookies I can boot FS9 up straight away with no problems.Best of luck.

Nicksee if you can find a program called flight sim manager by Rana hussein, should get it at avsim.if you do, you need to change your pc's date to about 2005. otherwise the program asks you to get a newer version, once you have run it and fixed your flt sim, change the date back again.There is an option in there to fiz scenery problems, check it and run the scan and tick the fix problem box, it will sort out the configs, its really good.Hope this helpsPaul
