Hello,I have reacently had trouble opening FSX as it will not start and and error comes up saying 'Failed to read from file'. FSX then closes and goes back to the desktop. This happens while it is loading into the front page (where the aircraft, airport etc. is chosen).I was unable to find a solution on Google that worked. It has never done this before and I am quite sure that it is not a hardware problem.If anyone has a solution please reply!Computer's specs:AMD ATHLON II X2 250 PROCESSOR (3.00GHz)2GB RAMNVIDIA GeFORCE GT 240 (1GB)WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE (32-BIT)Thanks!Scott

Hi,Put DVD 1 in your drive and try a Repair Install.

Try rebuilding the fsx.cfg first. Copy / Save the original and let FSX build a new one
