FSX wont start

(1/4) > >>

skimmer:
I just dwnlded and installed 9 Microsoft updates and was told to restart comp to finish install.Thing is the comp never started up by itself like it should and always has.Anyway now that I deleted the 9 files,restarted,computer restore and a restart repair I cannot get FSX to run.I will get the welcome screen but the comp will say fatal error and FSX welcome just closes.I have deleted all in the log file as well. All my other programs start up and run fine @ REX.

I have Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Any advice please.

A fatal error at start almost always means there is a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime problem.

Re-download you 2005 Re-distrabutables here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387

Also try-

Running FSX as an Administrator
Uninstall and re-install Sp1, and Sp2

Thanks Brittney,I did the 2005 C++with no success. But what about the C++2008 and C++ 2010 ones? I just have to find a way other than uninstall.I have a lot of payware on this and some freeware.It would take 5 weeks or more to reinstall. If its something that is corrupted other than FSX a reinstall would leave me with the same problem.

I just found out if I right click on the FSX icon and right click on the Microsoft Flight Simulator title I do not have the properties title listed.

FSX runs off of the 2005 libraries, but you can try the 2008 as well. Some addons may require the 2008 version.

Did you run FSX as Administrator, like I said before ?

Something could be corrupt with your installation, and a re-install may be your only option. OR, you could remove all addons one by one to see if it's a problem ?

Also, you can try posting your Crash report by looking into the even viewer. (Start > Right Click on Computer and Select "Manage"), however, it's almost always a Microsoft Visual C++ error. (MSVCR)

Also try removing your FSX.cfg, so FSX can build a new one.
