Try removing the fs9.cfg file. That fixes almost 80% of FS startup problems. Just remove it from it's folder and restart the sim. The sim will build a new file. You'll have to redo all your settings in the sim.
If that fixes things you can also save a copy of the latest working fs9.cfg as fs9.cfg_bak then you can substitute that when you have problems so you won't have to change settings.
