After I landed in Paris last night and exited the game. I could no longer restart it. I got this message. Any time I try to boot up FSX I get this. I've reinstalled it and uninstalled FSX. Drivers have been updated for graphics card. Not sure what else to do. I've posted my specs below. I'm hoping someone has had this issue before.

Have you installed any addons lately..? Are you using FSCopilot and FSInn? The reason I ask is because I've had this happen to me after putting in some addon, and FSCopilot, FSInn have caused the fatal error also.. I have no idea why but it's happened to me like 3 times now. I have to uninstall FSCopilot and FSInn and then I can start the sim, no problem. Then I reinstall the two programs and they work fine again. Sometimes a bad file in an addon can cause a problem too.
Just some thoughts.. Might help out..
Cheers..!

Well I got it to the main menu but it crashed and gave me the fatal error right afterwards. This is highly frustrating. Maybe I'll do another FSX uninstall/reinstall.

Another thing I've noticed when I have FSCopilot and FSInn installed, I can't close the sim from the "settings" screen.. If I do, when the sim opens up it opens on that screen and when I try to change to "free flight" the sim will give me that "fatal error" message and I have to go through the uninstall, reinstall thing with FSCopilot and FSInn again.. So if you have those installed, be sure you never close your sim with it in the settings window.. I've found that if I make sure I'm in free flight when I exit the sim it starts fine. If you uninstalled those two programs and it's still giving you the fatal error message and you have'nt installed any other addons, then you'll have to make sure you completely uninstall those before you restart your sim.. After that you can reinstall em and they should be alright. Hope ya get it working..

Thanks. Yeah I even uninstalled ACARS. Still no luck. Just removed all scenery. Still nothing. Trying to think of what else I may have. I may have to start next with all the planes.

Oh.. That's another thing.. If you installed the CV880 that might be causing you some problems. I had bad problems with that plane so I had to get it out of the sim. I think it was causeing me some grief also. Glad you brought up the planes cuz I forgot about that. I can't think of what else could be giving you the fatal error and crashing your sim like that. Sometime some of these different softwares don't play well with one and other..

I had this exact same problem, turned out to be a hardware failure, took it to PC world and had it fixed for £25, it was because i had accidentally moved some windows files.
Hope this helps mate

God I hope it's not hardware. The ironic thing is that the game was working fine. I had just done Cincy - Paris. When I restarted the game without even rebooting is when I got the problem.

Try connecting your yoke/joystick AFTER FSX starts up, works for me.

I'd go back to XP if I could find a disc. Of course it would take out my Dual Core use.
