Fsx Starts With Fatal Error

When I start FSX, i get a fatal error.....WHY?

Hard to say without some more information - such as maybe, oh I don't know, the actual error message youre getting?We're not psychic on this forum (though some of us come close from time to time :( ).

I get a fatal error during startup..... A Fatal Error Has Occured, following a message saying that my graphics card doesn't meet the requirement for FSX

Well what graphics card do you have?The only reason FSX would throw up that message is:1) Your graphics card really is not good enough or;2) You haven't got the correct or latest drrivers installed for it.If points 1 and 2 are both incorrect then it sounds like your FSX install is corrupt, and you'll need to either do a repair install from the FSX DVD or re-install FSX from scratch.

My graphics card is fine, i just did a system restore on my laptop. before, FSX SP2 worked and my graphics requirement was fine..... right now, i am repairing it, or trying to anyways........I'm sooooo fed up with FSX getting all messed up.

I just had a fatal error 2 days ago. Took me a while to find out what was wrong... In my case it was a corrupted default flight - i removed the FSX.cfg and FSX built a new one. It started without error and i was able to change my default flight. After that i slapped my old cfg back in and everything was fine again. Heiko
