yes my computer name is owner. I searched the name you gave me C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX and there are files. I see the fsx.cfg I see FSX
and many other files

The point is can you see the files listed as missing in the error message?

fsx.cfg should be in that location. Rename it to fsx.bak & try it.

Find the file named fsx.cfg & rename it to fsx.bak to back it up. Then try starting FSX.

Ah well. It was worth a try. I'm out of ideas. Sorry.

If it had worked a new fsx.cfg would have been written when FSX was loading.

You're too quick for me. What won't it let you change?
