Thanks a lot for that, longbreak754 and to all who have given hints. I shall go through longbreak's list during the weekend when I can concentrate ! So far and following the other hints, I'm still at stage 1. But the above with longbreak 754's possible solution looks very interesting. Oh yes, I noticed I have config files from FSXse also with the FSX config. I renamed that one as well. I do use FlyInside, a VR hook for my CV1 goggles. I know that Flyinside also has config files. Not sure to rename those. But The FSX program I don't think even gets that far. All stops in less than two seconds. Might first wait until after this weekend? Great support of which I do appreciate. Cheers.

Thanks. That's good to know that the latest W10 is still ok fpr FSX. Found the config files in User/Roaming etc etc. Renamed..But FSX still behaving the same. Sorry about these mailing overlaps. It appears that being a NEW member means a wait between posts being posted ! But anyway..Any other answers/ clues/ things to further try? Thanks..

Thanks for your hint..The Config file resides where? I will look later but..just in case it's hidden away in some strange place? I'm betting..well hoping your valuable assistance is the answer. Just want to be sure I get the right file! Thanks!!

Hi all, New here but an oldie to FSX. Had it for a long time, many years indeed. It's the DVD edition..not Steam in any way. Been running it on my W10 GTX1070 machine for ages..All ok and great. Latest drivers etc etc. installed too. A couple of days ago I clicked on the FSX icon and the little blue loading circle spun about for a second or two then..nothing! No error messages..Just nothing happened. Clicking again..same result. Checked file location...All seems to be where it always was and the file size the same Tried executing the executable (!) from the FSX folder..Guess what..Same thing. Nothing happens. So. Maybe the latest W10 update? Maybe something I recently downloaded? But maybe someone here has experienced this happening? I thought it worth asking before I (shudder) reinstall FSX. I guess I could drop back W10 to the earlier version or restore the system back somewhat. But before all that drastic stuff..Any one with any clues or answers? Thanks.
