Transfering to FSX Steam
Cfoley:
Here are the complete Microsoft Flight Simulator SimConnect Clients that are in my computer:
V10.0.60905.0
V10.0.61259.0
V.10.0.62615.0
V10.0.61242.0
I don't know if any of these are bad or not, or remember how they got there.

You have all the versions that ever came out in FSX history:
V10.0.60905.0 - Simconnect from the Original FSX from 2006
V10.0.61259.0 - Simconnect from FSX Acceleration Pack or SP2
V.10.0.62615.0 - Simconnect from FSX:Steam
V10.0.61242.0 - Simconnect from the FSX SP1
GSX *requires* V10.0.61259.0 as minimum, but I guess it should work with just the later one from Steam. However, it's the older ones that might possibly cause problems, since sometimes those side-by-side libraries don't work all together as they should.
The issue is, you said this is a new computer: how you could possibly have remnants of previous FSX installations, dating back to 2006 ? They might have been installed by some add-ons, one that has been made for such old versions, which might well cause issues.
You can TRY uninstalling the oldest ones, V10.0.60905.0 and V10.0.61242.0, but I can't guaranteed it will work, because uninstalling Side-by-side libraries can be very complex, sometimes it's impossible without booting in Windows Safe mode so, if your system is really new, it might easier to just reinstall Windows...
Cfoley:
Reinstalling windows is something I will not do, and don't know how to do. I don't need more problems added on top of another. When I purchased my new computer, I had Zinstall transfer everything over from my old Windows 7 computer to my Windows 10. If it comes to having to reinstall windows, my flight simulation days are over. I will not do it.

Your saying "it's a new computer" mislead me into assuming you also had a clean Windows install with a clean FSX:Steam installation. Now I understand your new computer has just inherited all the past baggage from years of updates and related problems.
When you'll finally do what you'll eventually end up doing sooner or later for other reasons (reinstalling Windows), I'm sure you'll notice how snappy your new computer will feel like.
Cfoley:
I will never be reinstalling Windows because I have other programs and files as well, not just FSX. That is why I used Zinstall to begin with. That would destroy all my years of work I put into it. I will have to sacrifice flight simulation if I have to in order to protect my non-flight simulation programs and files. Thanks for all your help, but there is not much that can be done now.
