I have recently launched Flight Simulator and when I start a flight, several errors occur. When I open the ATC box, the first letters of several words don't appear and the words are incomplete. The areas of some of the screen will get a little fuzzy and sometimes the FS will just quit.

I would try a reinstall if this keeps happening.

You have installed something that is in conflict with FS9. Try unninstalling the last thing you installed.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled FS. When I uninstalled it, I deleted everything in the FS9 folders. I can get a screenshot of the missing letters, but maybe not the fuzzy.

And about ten minutes into flight, my FS just turns black and quits.

I would try to clean the registry. If that won't give the wanted results, then I'm afraid you have to reinstall your OS.

ian,
From the sounds of things, I would not attempt to fool with the system, If you have a way to back up all your saved files i would go that route, then do a complete system reinstall. If its a dell or gateway or some other major brand, there should be a system restore disk that came with the system. Yes time consuming, but if you do not know the working of a Computer, I would not even begin to explain how to do it here. Besides, doing a complete restoration, will smoothen things out.
