Re: FSX: "failed to read from file"

Hello There,

Going through the steps you advised, the only one which I hadn't thought of was the virus scanner. I disabled scanning on demand, but no luck. I still keep getting this little window; "failed to read from file". FSX has been running OK for a long time, so the other suggestions were not applicabel.
I have been installing a few things, but removing them again made no difference. I know there are some critical files, like FSX.cfg, Scenery.cfg, exe.xml and dml.xml, I have looked at all, but didn't find problems or conflicts. I have the latest graphics- and soundcard drivers. At the moment I'm stuck. Hope you can offer some thoughts.

System specs are:
Power supply: Enermax Infinity 650W, 28A on 12V rail.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6, socket LGA775,
CPU: Intell Dual Core 3.33GHz
RAM: OCZ, 4 x 1 Gb, 1066GHz, DDR2
Videocard: NVIDIA GTX285, 1 Gb RAM, PCIe,
Harddrives: 2 x 150Gb WD Velociraptor, 1 x 300Gb WD Velociraptor, all SATA,
Operating system: WindowsXP-Pro SP3
