Whenever I try to go to the briefing page for Sitka Approach or Executive Tour (in FSX Acceleration), a "fatal error" occurs. Does anyone know how to fix it? :-/ Thanks.

Hi,

have you deleted any aircraft or effects, in particular the Cessna Skyhawk SP Model 172 or the

I have done some other missions with the same aircraft. It's all good... Maybe those missions are corrupted?

I've also tried restoring the missions and aircraft folders to the default, but those missions still don't work... 

give me a few mins and i'll put a list of the contents of the mission folders here

contents of the sitka folder should be:
Charts.htm
Charts_Tab.htm
Details.htm
Details_Tab.htm
images
imgM_c.bmp
imgM_i.bmp
Overview.htm
Overview_Tab.htm
Sitka.FLT
sitka.htm
Sitka.PLN
Sitka.spb
Sitka.WX
Sound

contents of the executive tour should be
Charts.htm
Charts_Tab.htm
Details.htm
Details_Tab.htmexecutivetour.htm
Executive_Tour.FLT
Executive_Tour.spb
Executive_Tour.WX
images
imgM_c.bmp

KEDW_Tour.PLN

It's all there...  :-?

could be one corrupt or even scenery problem
Not sure how you would go about chwecking which as you have already done a repair

In either of the faulty mission folders, rename the following files
Overview.htm
Overview_Tab.htm

and the copy same named files from a working mission folder to the faulty folder and select that mission from within fsx.
You should get the breifing from the 'good' mission when you select the faulty mission.

Ok, but when I fly mission nothing happens (no one says anything). I land, taxi to where I need to park (I've done the mission before on other computers) and nothing happens...  :-/

Did you copy the htm files from a working mission to the folder of the effected ones? You said yours crashed at the briefing screen?

The mission should still work with wrong htm files but you will get briefing for the 'wrong' mission.

In the exec tour, you should get cockpit prompts and voice saying secretary has a back problem so you have to do your turns without hurting the VIP.

There is a time limit and you must pass each target within limits of how far away you are, I tend to pass each target with them on the left hand side and banked to the left. I fly with either half flaps or full flaps until I have to climb up to meet the shuttle, then use flaps as needed to stay at it's side. Then land as smooth as possible.

I was talking about Sitka Approach... 
I got to the briefing page for Sitka, but when I'm flying it no one talks to me to tell me what to do. There's not even a mission pointer, so it's just like free flight except you can't change aircraft, failures, etc.  :-/

And you've done a repair and still faulty.

Wonder if i'm allowed to email
