I'm running Windows XP with Service Packs 1, 2, and 3. Don't know what I did wrong, but the innitial screen comes up, but then program freezes. (Also running the SimVation autoloader in startup files in FS9 + FS2k2). I have many add-ons, and dread reloading everything - doubt that I could, anyway.
Ideas about what went wrong? Can I correct it without reloading everything?
I DID defrag hd using Disktrix Ultimate Defrag.... Thanks in advance.

John,

Try renaming the FS9.cfg so FS will rebuild it. This usually corrects the issue.

Forgive me for being a bit slow, but just where do I find FS9.CFG? Tried global search, NADA.... Tried the DC3 icon marked FS9, program still freezes. Haven't flown in 4 months and am getting "withdrawal" symptoms - or just want to throw entire tower out the window at 40K feet!
I have both the MAAM C47 and B25 loaded and am not loading DLLs FS9 says are in error....
Right now, it's either me or the computer!!!!

fs9.cfg can be found in .. My Computer / C: / Documents and Settings / (user name) / Application Data / Microsoft / FS9

you will need to make sure that "SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS" is selected in Tools / Folder Options, at the top of the "My Computer" window. This will allow you access to the hidden files on your computer.
