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.

You have to have Java installed.

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.

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
