I was flying along in the CS767 all of a sudden my PC goes to desktop. I get back into FSX and this message saying somthing about Parkme is outdated and should be replaced with GSX nither of which I have installed I clicked ok and FSX came back up, but everytime I'd unpause FSX the same message would reappear finally FSX crashed. I relanched FSX. While waiting I went to browse the web and my keyboard went haywire typing or hitting key combo's that I wasn't pressing so I shut down the PC and all seemed well on reboot. But when I relanched FSX it asked me to appove addons that I already had months back. So I checked my CFG file and everything had been deleted!!! as in FSX made a new CFG lucky for me I had a back up but still what has just happened! Has anyone else seen this happen? The only thing differnt is I installed the demo of flightbeam KIDA

KIAD uses Addon Manager and Couatl.  Those are the items bugging you to upgrade.

Would that explain my fsx.cfg being deleted?

No, just explains the parkme/gsx messages.

if FSX crashed, it is possible that the cfg file got trashed also and rebuilt with default on next start.

Is there anyway to recover it? I have a back up but its a few months old

No real harm in deleting and rebuilding fsx.cfg.  Just add whatever tweaks you were using previously and re-approve your addons/modules.
