First, let me say I really like the new format. Now for the question. Had same problem after installing AVG PC TUNE-UP program and running it. It messed up alot of FSX files and cancelled my admistrator rights so I couldnt do any add-ons. Had to uninstall AVG program and FSX and reinstall FSX and reset my user account to administrator then go into FSX properties and click the full administrator box to let me add-on my scenery etc. Everything working fine now. Will stick with Windows Security Essentials and other MS hardware from now on.

@Formula_1 I got that and FSX had been running that last hour and I also had a look at the 24h and 7days lists.
The 2 items mentioned, along with CAPI2 Application have been the 3 major items over the past week, but I dont see anything about FSX in any of the 3 lists, there.
So, if FSX isnt mentioned there, I dont have to worry about the rest?


as an ex ICT manager if one of my guys came to me with this issue I would advice you start eliminating bits until you hit the problem. this also means installing FSX as default as possible, on the C drive in X86. work you way up from the bottom as it were and only change (install) one thing at the time and then do some exhausting testing before continuing. most of all do not assume that 'something' cant be the problem. anything can. I dont think your problem has a simple, easy answer, but the problem can be found. It just takes time.
that would be my starting point.
