Thanks Markoz. I am having all of these symptoms and thinking about reinstalling it. All of my planes now need to be started up. I cannot think of how to automatically start them. For example, when I start FSX and begin to fly, I need to start the engines. It used to be where I could Fly Now and everything would be ready, engines and all. I am going to see if it was an online feature and that would make a very simple solution. If not, it will be more headaches. Thanks for all your help!
