When you open up the Scenery Config Editor, you have to click on File then Open other then go to the directory where the FSX-SE scenery.cfg is located.  You did not have to delete your fsx scenery.cfg. 

 

Best regards,

You have to have Java installed.

java installed I am sure I get a reminder when there is an update to java so should be up to date

Is the desktop icon pointing to the location of your current install of the program?

 

Right-click on the icon, select 'Properties', and make sure that the target is correct.

I would delete your desktop icon, go into your config editor folder and create a new shortcut of the .exe file onto your desktop.

 

Regards,

thanks for all reply's

I am in the process of re-installing Win7 and EVERYTHING else because I had an issue where I could no longer open Quicken 2014. I'm 99% sure it was because of a system restore, including my OS, I had performed while attempting to trouble-shoot a non-FSX related issue. This had also snowballed to other applications failing when starting.

 

I know this isn't directly related to your FSX issue, but I wanted to warn that system restores can cause problems instead of resolving them.

thanks for warning smaker

I have not done system restore for some time

Just a long shot, have you tried redownloading a new install file?

thanks again to all who helped me with this problem

I have found out the problem was old java installs that should have been uninstalled

I did not know about these but when I have uninstalled all java updates and installed latest one everything worked fine

thanks in particular to firehawk44
