1) Check your virtual memory setting and see if it is at max. I had a
problem some time ago with a Photoshop program that kept giving me out of
mem errors. Turns out I had gone from 1GB to 2GB RAM but XP did not readjust
the virtual memory. Manually bumping it up to max resolved the issue. I don't
know if the same applies to Vista but worth a try. I am on vista now (new
PC) with 3GB RAM( added 1GB recently) and an 8800GTS card but have not tried
FSX yet to see if I have issues.
2) Some report using 16 bit instead of 32 bit in the video settings of FSX
may solve the problem.
3) Majority of the errors seem related to 8800 series cards as well so as
usual make sure you have the latest drivers
Good luck and would love to know when you resolve it
