In an attempt to diagnose some problems, I DISABLED all nonessential scenery from within the settings of fs9. I wanted then to load flight sim and one by one add add-on scenery files. However now when I load fs9, the scenery.cfg rebuilds until 98%, at which time I get a fe.dll error. I went into wordpad and manually Enabled on all the scenery as it was before, but still same problem, any ideas?

no ideas, but in a similar case I had succes by resetting the system (XP) to a former restore point. Perhaps this might cure your problem also?Herman (EHGG)

Well I got it work again, here's what I did:1. open scenery.cfg with notepad and manually change 'active=true' to 'active=false' for all non required scenery.2. Once that was done, fs9 rebuilt a new config file successfully and I was able to load fs93. I isolated the problem to [Area.038]Title=Addon SceneryLocal=Addon SceneryLayer=38active=TrueRequired=FALSERemote=4. Once I disabled this, my problem was solved.
