According to the GSX web page, under "System Requirements", the minimum supported OS is Windows Vista:

My previous reply about using an old version was directed to an user that *bought* GSX when Windows XP WAS indicated as supported on our site, so he can use an older GSX installer he still had.

However, in your case you bought GSX when XP wasn't supported anymore, and this (in addition to the Web page info, which doesn't indicate XP as a supported OS), would have been obvious by downloading and installing the Trial version, which is what you are supposed to do when you buy something that is sold in as Try-before-Buy product. The whole point of having a Trial, is precisely that you can check if it works on your own system before purchase, in case you might have not noticed the System Requirements on the Web page.

The issue is, the current GSX *requires* the current Couatl 3, and it won't work with Couatl 2, which seem to be still compatible with XP so, it won't fix anything using the old Couatl, because the current GSX doesn't work with it.

We cannot be expected to support an officially unsupported OS from 15 years ago. I STRONGLY advice to upgrade to AT LEAST Windows 7.

In addition to that, running FSX on a 32 bit OS, especially with a recent video card with lots of VRAM, WILL cause you endless crashes and Out of Memory errors so, there's really no reason why you would want to use XP today, surely not for FSX.
