So I tried to start up FS9 today everything was normal I picked the PMDG 744 and picked KLAX as my airport during the loading process of the flight the bar wouldn't go past 77%. So I tried this with other airplanes and it kept sticking at 77%. So I did an uninstall and reinstall of FS9 and all addons (Very Time Consuming). Now I can't even get passed the splash screen. All i have installed recently are some repaints for the the PMDG 744 and QW 757. Any Help?

Try restoring your system to when FS9 last worked.

Possibly if you are running any anti-virus protection this can be a factor. If applicable see if any files are being recognized as false positives.

For awhile I had your same problem Devin it was resolved by browsing to my modules folder and deleting OLEACC.DLL. It worked for me, perhaps you as well?

I don't even have the OLEACC.DLL in my modules folder and AV isn't interfering.

Devin, the last thing that comes to mind is possibly your registry is damaged.

You might check and see if you have any hard drive issues. Chkdsk and defrag. Then reinstall FS9 (you might be able to do a Repair instead of uninstall and reinstall.

When you re-installed did you delete the FS9 settings and the folder
