Vista Tutorial - Flight Sim X side by side error in Vista

I have been running Vista Ultimate since launch, and running flight Sim X
without any problems. I've just upped my RAM by 2 Gig because Vista seemed to
be using a fair amount, and now Flight Sim X won't start, it displays an
error message saying "The application has failed to start because its side
by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for
more details.".

Have I done something wrong? How do I resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help anyon can offer

I would try uninstalling, defragging, then reinstalling (and make sure you
have current video drivers).

Thanks for the tip Adam, but I have tried re-installing twice, with no
success. I'm running Nvidia's latest forceware drivers, and have been as soon
as they became available, but the problem only started after I added the RAM.
Heeeelllppppp!
