FSX Multiplayer ATC broken

Hi folks.
I hope someone somewhere can help me. For over a year I've been unable to act as a controller in any multiplayer sessions. I browsed the internet for other people who have been experiencing the same problem, to no avail. Seems like it's just me.
The problem occurs when I get into a server, change my role to a controller, and try to enter the session. The moment I press the button to enter into the session (and obviously load fsx), my fsx opens the window in which I fly, but then freezes, and stays that way. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling fsx numerous times, nothing. Eventually I made peace with the fact that my disk must have a corrupted controller feature or something, and just forgot about it. Yes, all the other stuff works perfectly...
Any suggestions (other than reinstalling fsx ;) )?
Alan

Do you have problems with just connecting to the "FS Host Servers" listed here, with FSX, using the program "FS Host Client"...>>>

Type the chosen IP address in the displayed box, and connect. (Similar to FS 2004)

"FS Host Spy" lists all the FS Host Servers on line.

A group of Pilots can select a particular Server from the list, and a location, for a Multiplayer Session, connect, and then all fly together.

Multiplayer, using the various FS Host Servers, seems to be the simplest and quickest method!

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply.
No, I fly multiplayer using direct connect nearly every weekend... I usually use fsopen. I can fly, just not control.
