No other game has any issues, DirectX 9.0c hasbeen installed for ages, although I fsx service did update to the August 2007redistributable after the error first popped up. It seemed to installfine but FSX still won't start.DXDiag shows no problems, everything's enabled, all is good.I have attempted the troubleshooting suggested athttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/256182/en-us?spid=11941&sid=global to noavail.I have tried the game with and without the Service Pack.When I try to get support from Microsoft (Which in some ways I fsx service pack don'texpect much from) it requires that I enter a product ID, which ithelpfully tells me to get from Help->About from within the app-- theproblem is I can't launch Flight Simulator! Otherwise I have to pay $35for support. (being as I only paid $14.99 for the game I'm not about topay $35 just to try to make it work)So I am basically stuck with 2 worthless discs unless someone canprovide me any sort of tips/hints/etc to try to get this running. I'mvery frustrated, and don't know what to do to try to make this work.My system is:Pentium D 830 (3.0ghz dual core) / 2GB RAM / ATI X800XL video card /Asus P5WD2 motherboardWindows XP SP2 + all the latest patches (32-bit)Thanks in advance for any help!Justin Grand_Poobah 2007-08-13 02:47:14 UTC PermalinkRaw Message --->Post by Justin ScottHi all,I have been desperately trying to get information about this error butcan't find much.
