Upon startup, I get this message:

"Your computer has run out of available memory. Flight Simulator will now exit. You may not have enough free space on your hard drive. Run Disk Cleanup to free space, and then try running FS again."

I click OK, then another message appears in German; here

Does this happen after a clean boot? Other recently-closed programs may still be using required computer resources

Thanks for the quick reply...FS9 was the first thing I started after booting.
BUT: before loading windows, I had some strange CHKDSK cleanups and deleting of files...never saw this before.

Umm, try increasing you Virtual Memory...

Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings >  Advanced > Change

Increase both numbers in those boxes, and see if that helps.

Other than that all I can suggest is maybe you have a Virus...? The deleteing of files before start up sounds suspicious....

Problem solved:
I took a look in my Addon Scenery folder (as I read that some .bgl files in scenery folders without an associated texture folde can create this problem). I saw that the file last changed was the VOZ-folder; the time of change was exactly the time when I was first trying to fire up FS9. I went to the scenery.cfg in the FS9-root-folder an changed the Active=TRUE to FALSE for each VOZ-entry. And it worked again!

Strange though, as I dindt use VOZ at all for at least two month or so. No virus here, either.

Thanks for your help!
