I'm having problems with FS9. I rebooted my PC recently and luckily FS9 survived and all other programs. I was able to restore all my documents too. However, I have since been unable to start FS9. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solution. I have tried all the solutions on the Microsoft website - none work. I edited some things:

• I used the SquawkBox SMS generator to generate WOAI models for VATSIM
• I added a new aircraft, which has since been deleted
• I editied the FS9.cfg, but I also tried restoring it

I have tried EVERYTHING except reinstall - that's a last resort.I am extremely desperate because I haven't flown for a while now and I want some flights before Christmas!!!

"rebooted" ??? What exactly did you do because "rebooting" means nothing more than re-starting an existing Windows in the normal way ? Do you mean that you have re-installed Windows itself ? If so then your new registry will most probably not or no longer have the necessary link(s) to your FS9.exe or other programs. If you can still start FS9 up by double clicking on the FS9.exe itself then not all is lost and a simple new "shortcut" on your desktop to the FS9.exe will solve at least your FS9 problem. But I'm only guessing here.Hans

Thanks for the reply. I meant system restore, not reboot :S I tried replacing the fs9.exe. It was corrupt. It's now working! But due to system restore, my settings are back to default, but my Christmas holidays start tomorrow, so that's OK!
