I had this trouble with the PSS 757 on Friday night, and had to come back. Yesterday, things were working with the CRJ-200, but today, the problem resurfaced. I do not have directional gyro drift enabled. The compass also does the same thing.

What's the problem? You weren't actually heading 014 degrees? What was shift+Z telling you?

Brittany,
Looks like your EHSI, your MFD and your magnetic compass all match with a heading of 014 degrees. I do see the problem though. If you were flying from FANEW to HAVAD to IGEBE you should be getting a heading of about 095 degrees.

Yeah, but I can't understand what's causing it.

Is this only on the PSS 757? Perhaps loading a default aircraft then selecting the 757? Just some ideas. Let us know what you find out.

Brittany
Have you added any scenery lately. Apparently there are some sceneries out there that delete the Magnetic variation from certain areas. Most propably an AFCAD file that you recently put in. You can check by renaming the AFCAD files to a *.bak one at a time to find the file that is causing the problem. If it is a scenery file you can move it out of the Addon Scenery directory and restart FS to check.
Some known files that have this problem:
ydni_excl.bgl
xxxxAFCAD.bgl

Well, it happened all during the flight from Tulsa. Saturday night, it happened in Atlanta too.

This is what happens when you use FS2002 compatible AFCAD files in FS2004.

Is there a way to check the AFCADs all at once?

You could rename them all to *.bak and then switch them back one at a time to find the bad one.

Do "backward elimination", i.e. remove the last one you installed first.
