FSX will not start

I have had to resort to my desk top for FSX because my laptop is being repaired. I have not used the desk top version for some time and have made no changes to it at all. The start up FSX window comes up, the load seems normal. Then FSX just shuts to the desk top. I have tried display driver update, a reinstall using "repair" and deleting the config and restarting. On the last point FSX is not rewriting the config as it should. Any one got any ideas.

Thanks

Matt

Hi,

Make sure FSX is closed.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files and rename your logbook.bin to logbook_old.bin

Start FSX

I gave that a try and still have the same problem :'(. Any other thoughts?
