Hello jowlj!
Let's break this down a bit here....

That is not that bad of a card, the only thing you will notice is the "Lowered" graphic settings in Flight Sim.

MOM is a "monitoring" utility used by the ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC). To solve this problem; Uninstall the CCC, reboot your computer, go to
Microsoft and download and install ".NET Framework 2.0". Reboot your computer, then go to
ATI and download the CCC again.

Two things come to mind here:
But first, make sure your XP installation is COMPLETELY up to date!
1. - You may have a corrupt logbook (C:\..\My Documents\Flight Simulator Files\logbook.bin)
Try fixing your logbook. Click
HERE, save this to your "Flight Simulator Files" in "My Documents". Unzip it there and run the .EXE file. When the program starts, very small should start imidiately, click "Back Up", then "Analize", then "Repair".
OR
2. - I believe that in order for you to run both FSX and FS9, you must
FIRST install FS9, patch it and then proceede to install FSX and the patches for it. However, once FSX is installed, you
CAN NOT unistall FS9.
Try unistalling FSX,
I know it takes a while to install/uninstall, then install FS9 - patch it- and then reinstall FSX and patch it to SP2 or Acceleration.
Let me know if that takes care of it or not....
