This was the problem. I found simFlight on an untrusted list. I removed it from the list and started up FSX and was asked if I wanted to trust it and I chose always. All seems well now. Thank you sir! :)

Maybe the error #14 is from the Acars app, KACARS by FS-Products http://www.fs-products.net/ I removed FSUIPC and cleaned the registry of any mention of it. I then installed version 4.60, all seemed to go well. I checked for the DLL.XML it was there as well as a couple of back-ups. I renamed an older one (28/04/2010) and made it the active one. I started FSX, loaded a saved flight, a 767 sitting at a gate. FSUIPC did not show on the Addons menu. I connected to VATSIM so I guess Simconnect works. The last time I used the Acars program that requires FSUIPC was 04/06/2010, so the older DLL.XML should be un-corrupted. In the log below, it appears FSUIPC is unable to find the fsx.cfg, well, it's right there in the same folder as the DLL.XML C:\Users\Alky\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ :cry: I'm running Vista 64 bit on a quad core with 6 gigs of ram and an Nvidia 9800GT+ vidio card. Below is the installer log. I'm not sure what to look for there so I've included it.

I get error #14 FSUIPC not running when trying to run an Acars app. FSUIPC also does not appear in the addons menu of FSX. I've tried a couple of different versions and get the same error :( I don't know what could have changed as it did work previously and I don't remember changing anything in my system. Thanx!
