When I try to load FSX a fatal error message comes up. I don't understand it, and I was wondering if someone could help me. Please help, and if you think you can help, I will post my error messages on here.

You might like to try deleting fsx.cfg. Back it up first if you've done any tweaking.

what does that do
Resets all your settings back to default. It's a cure for all sorts of problems.

That sounds possible. Have you looked in the location in the error message?
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX
